Coconut tapioca pudding with mango and roasted mung beans

Roast

Roasting

This is a naturally gluten-free and dairy-free dish and variations of it are found all over Southeast Asia. While visiting my brother in Thailand in 2014 I tasted everything I could. I tried every fruit, rice dish, bean, meat, noodle... you get the idea. I came away with a desire to recreate as many dishes as I could, starting with my favorite dessert: coconut pudding. <br />Dried and roasted Mung Beans bring a whole new level of a flavor and crunch to tapioca pudding. I used small pearl tapioca for this recipe, but it works with medium-sized pearls too. Dry roasted mung beans (not dried mung beans) are available at most Asian supermarkets.
