Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method
-------- ------------ --------------------------------
1/2 c Mung bean flour
3/4 c Sugar
2 dr Red or green food colouring
1/4 c Rice flour
3/4 c Coconut milk
1/2 ts Salt
2 tb Yellow mung beans, optional

In a large bowl, combine the mung bean flour, sugar,
food colouring & 2 c cold water. Stir until the flour
is almost dissolved. Strain through cheesecloth into
a pot. Over medium heat, stir the liquid until all
remaining solids are completely dissolved & the
mixture is thick & sticky enough to coat a spoon.
Cool for 15 minutes. Cover a baking sheet with waxed
paper. Drop the mixture by the spoonful onto the
sheet. Do not allow the circles to touch. Let cool
to room temperature. In a large bowl, combine the rice
flour, milk & salt, stirring until dissolved. Strain
into a pot & cook over medium heat for 10 minutes.
Drop 1 ts of this onto the cooling gelatin circles. In
a dry skillet, toast the yellow mung beans until they
turn light brown. Generously sprinkle onto the
pastries & refrigerate for 1 hour before serving.
They will keep in the refrigerator for 2 or 3 days.
