Cook Time 55 mins
- 1 lb. Red Kidney Beans (red peas)

Instructions
- Soak the Salt Beef or/and pig’s tail overnight (if time allows), or boil for about 20 minutes if you got the ingredients today and want to start cooking immediately. This will stop the stew from tasting too salty.
- Wash Red Kidney Beans and remove discolored beans or any foreign matter.
- In a 2-quart stockpot, add beef products and beans.
- Cook beans and beef until they are soft (this will take some time; add water as needed). 20 mins or more
- Dissolve Grace Coconut Milk in 1/3 cup water and add to the boiled red kidney beans and bring to a boil.
- While the other ingredients are cooking, you will have to make the little dumplings called spinners.
- Add all the spinners to the pot of stew and cover the pot. Let the spinners cook for about 8 minutes.
- Add scallions, thyme, black pepper, and cooking oil.
- Cook for 5 minutes then mix a solution of 1 tbsp flour and 1/4 cup of water to thicken the stew, this is called a flour paste;
- Let it simmer for about another 10 minutes. Serve hot!
