Combine in a large heavy sauce- pan with the beef, dried kidney beans (if using canned beans don't add at this time), and the water. Cover and cook over medium heat for about 1 hour, until the meat and beans are tender. Add the potatoes, coconut milk, and any other peeled root vegetables or dumplings along with the onion, scallions, thyme and hot pepper. (If using canned beans, add at this time.) Add salt to taste.
