EASY MONGGO RECIPE WITH KALABASA AND LECHON BELLY

Markus Juan

        Ginisang munggo is a Filipino savory mung bean soup. It is made with mung beans, garlic, tomatoes, onions, various vegetables, and patis (fish sauce). It is cooked with pork, tinapa (smoked fish), daing (dried fish), or other seafood and meat. It is also commonly garnished with chicharon. The name means "sautéed mung bean", though the dish ends up being a soup. The name is in reference to the first step of the cooking process  where the spices and the secondary ingredients are sautéed before water and the mung beans are added. Other  variant of this dish includes coconut milk and is known as ginisang munggo sa gata. wikipedia
