Ginisang Munggo is such a staple in our household because it’s just one of my favorite ulam EVER! Some sautés this with pork belly, some with dried micro shrimps (hibe), and some with shrimp. I prefer to flavor it with flaked smoked fish (tinapa) and nothing else. Then I add tons of Ampalaya leaves. There are times when I top it with chicharon or pork rinds and there are times when I top it with fried chinese sausage.
I love my Ginisang Monggo with a little bit more soup than usual because of the amount of Ampalaya leaves I put in it. And the way I eat it — usually soup style lang without any rice. We usually have it for lunch, then I also eat it for merienda… and dinner. Yes, Ginisang Monggo addict lang.
Anyway, after today, pahinga muna sa Ginisang Monggo ng mga three months because I am planning on going on an LCIF Diet or Low Carb with Intermittent Fasting Diet. Try lang, sana kayanin ko diba? LOL!

My printer isn’t working at the moment so I just wrote this entire recipe out lol. I’ve got to try this if I can find mung beans. Some of the ingredients might be hard to find around here but I go out of town shopping a lot.

This sounds so flavorful and delicious! I’ve never made this before at home, but I would like to try.
I have tried any type of food from the Philippines. I do love a good soup, though. This looks really good, even though I have never tasted many of the ingredients before. I guess I need to get more adventurous.
I really wish i could cook well,gonna try this for my kids..
