Directions

  1. Place the mung beans in a large container and cover with several inches of warm water, let soak for 2 hours, drain.

  2. Place a steamer insert into a saucepan and pour enough water to reach just below the bottom of the steamer. Cover and bring the water to a boil. Wrap the mung beans in cheesecloth and place in the steamer insert, cover the saucepan and steam the beans until tender, 25 to 30 minutes.

  3. Stir 3 1/2 cups water and the sugar together in a saucepan, bring to a boil. Stir 3/4 cup water and the tapioca flour together in a bowl until the flour is dissolved, pour the mixture into the boiling water and stir until the syrup becomes clear and thickened. Gently stir the mung beans into the syrup, remove from heat and divide into 4 serving bowls.

  4. Heat the coconut cream and salt together in a small saucepan over medium-low heat until warmed, but do not allow to boil. Spoon over the mung bean mixture to serve.
