Step 1
Rinse the 1 cup split mung beans under cold water until the water runs clear. Drain well.
Step 2
In a medium saucepan, combine the rinsed beans and 3 cups water. Bring to a boil over high heat, then reduce to low and simmer, partially covered, until the beans are very soft and starting to break down, about 15 minutes.
Step 3
Stir in the 0.5 cup coconut milk and 0.25 teaspoon salt. Cook for another 2-3 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the porridge is thick and creamy. If it's too thick, add a splash of water.
Step 4
Ladle the porridge into bowls and sprinkle each with the 1 tablespoon sesame seeds. Serve warm.
Step 5
For extra flavor, stir in a pinch of sugar or a drizzle of honey before serving, if you like.
