Yellow Mung Bean Pudding

Soak the mung beans in 2 c water for 20 minutes. Drain and place in a large pot. Add 10 c water and cook over medium heat, uncovered, for 15 minutes.

Dissolve the arrowroot in 1/4 c hot water and stir into the mung beans. Add the sugar and cook, stirring, for 15 minutes, or until all the water has been absorbed. Remove from the heat.

In a small pot, heat the coconut milk with the salt for 5 to 7 minutes or until it begins to boil. Serve the pudding in individual bowls, topped with 1 tb coconut milk. It will keep in the refrigerator for 1 week and may be served either hot or cold.
