Ginataang Monggo Recipe

Ginataang Munggo is a simple Filipino dessert dish wherein toasted Mung beans and sticky rice are cooked in coconut milk.

This recipe is almost the same as that of Ginataang Mais, except that the later uses corn.

If you have been out of the Philippines for many years, having this dish can make you feel nostalgic. It makes you think of home and the good things of the past. Don’t eat too much or you’ll end up purchasing a plane ticket right away

Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup Mung beans
  • 2 1/2 cups coconut milk
  • 1/2 cup sticky rice washed (malagkit)
  • 6 to 7 tablespoons sugar

Instructions

  • Heat a pan and put-in the Mung beans.
  • Toast the Mung beans until brown.
  • Turn-off heat and let the mung beans cool down.
  • Crack the toasted mung beans using a mortar and pestle (almires). Set aside.
  • Heat a cooking pot and pour-in coconut milk. Let boil.
  • Add the sticky rice and Mung beans then stir. Cook in low heat for 15 to 20 minutes while stirring once in a while, or until the coconut milk is almost absorbed.
  • Add sugar then stir.
  • Turn off heat and transfer to a serving plate.
  • Serve! You may serve this either hot or cold. I like having this cold with some extra coconut milk on top.
  • Share and enjoy!

      Hi Lovely! I think that you are referring the the canned or powder varieties. If this is the case, then yes you can use these.

    Firtst of all, thanks for your kindness and effort to share this cooking method to all of us out here. I happen to stumble of your video and i do agree that yours is well explanable and can motivate us housewives to be more in the kitchen and prepare food with love for our family who will surely appreciate it.

    However, I have a request that I would like to ask you if you don’t mind contacting me…if you prefer not to, I do respect that….but then again I really thank you and appreciate everything you shared with us.
