Ginisang Munggo (Sauteed Mung Beans with Spinach)

Ginisang Munggo or Sauteed Mung Beans with Spinach is a simple yet nice tasting Filipino vegetable dish. This is usually eaten as a main dish along with warm white rice. Some versions use fish, while there are others that make use of thin slices of pork.

I made my monggo guisado (this is what people sometimes use to refer to this dish) with dried small shrimp. It resembles “hibi”, which is a similar ingredient that I used to utilize when I was still in the Philippines. However, the latter has no head and shell, unlike this one. You can souce dried shrimp from Korean grocery stores. I got mine from there.

It is important to prepare the Mung Beans hour or a day before cooking. It should be soaked in water until it becomes softer, in order to make the cooking time shorter. I usually soak these overnight, but 3 hours should be enough.

There are several ways to cook ginisang munggo. I was able to share a handful in my Filipino food blog.

The Filipino way of eating munggo is either to have it only with rice, or to partner this with a fried or grilled dish, such as fried fish or grilled pork and still eat the combo with rice. This will make your experience more enjoyable.

I suggest that you also check out Adobong Kangkong. This is another easy to cook Pinoy vegetable recipe.
