Hello! How are you? Ber months are the months that a month of rain so here in the Philippines and here in our house whenever the climate is rainy this food I am going to cook is a comfort food I always cook, so when I perfect how the consistency and the taste this is always in the to buy on our grocery list.
We call this food Ginisang Munggo with Talbos ng Kamote at Dahon ng Malunggay. I like to cook it because it is a budget-friendly meal and can feed five people which is a win for people who want to budget their food money. This is the perfect combo of rice, and I, as a Filipino, can't live without it. LOL. I know many Filipinos here at Hive like to eat Ginisang Munggo.
Ingredients I Used:
- 3 Cloves of Garlic
- 1 Medium Red Onion
- 1 Medium Ginger
- 2 tbsp Fish Sauce
- 2 tbsp Cooking Oil
- 1 cup Malunggay Leaves
- 6 cups Boiling Water
- 1 cup Kamote Leaves
- 3 big Tomatoes
- 4 Green Chili
- 1\4 cup Ground Pork
- 1 cupMung Beans
- 1 Chicken Broth Cube
Cooking Time:
Boiling The Mung Bean To Remove The Skin:
I first boil the Mung bean to remove the skin, I like it skinless because the consistency of the munggo is thicker when it's cooked. As you can see the skin is floating above that is the sign that the is ready to be washed.
After that I wash off all the skin from the Mung beans, I wash them a couple of times until almost all the skin is washed off.
This is what it looks like after washing it off.
Cooking The Mung Beans:
Now it is ready to be cooked, To make cooking easier I already have boiling water ready to be used. I pour 6 cups of boiling water in.
And then I added a cube of chicken broth so it makes the Mung beans more savory. And then I let it cook.
Saute Time:
In another pan, I prepared ground pork I added two tablespoons of water and then I added the ground pork in let the water cook the meat.
When the water was reduced I added 2 tablespoons of oil and cooked the meat until brown. When the meat is cooked I add the garlic, onion, and ginger and sautee them for a minute.
Then I added the chopped tomatoes and cooked them until it got soft. After the tomatoes got cooked I added 2 tablespoons of Fish Sauce.
Adding the Sauted Ingredients To The Mungbean:
I added the sauteed tomatoes.
And then mix it.
And I let it simmer for 15 minutes until it thickens. This is what it looks like.
After Simmering:
After simmering the Mung beans, I added the Talbos ng Kamote and cooked it for 5 minutes.
Next, I added the green chilis.
The good thing about living in a province is that some of the veggies you need are just in your front yard just tiptoed to harvest some LOL.
For the final touch, I added the Malunggay leaves and cooked it for a minute.
It is ready to be eaten! Happy Eating!
