Ginataang Monggo with Pork Recipe

Jump to Recipe Print Recipe

There are many ways to cook mung beans.Today I am sharing one of my favorite mung bean dish: Ginataang Monggo with Pork.

This should not be confused with sweet ginataang monggo dessert. Ginataang Monggo with Pork is a main dish wherein mung beans are sauteed with pork and stewed in coconut milk. It is rich, tasty, and yummy. I enjoyed eating it. Note: see video below for my taste test.

Before you start cooking, let me first give you some tips. The first thing that I did was to soak the mung beans in water overnight. This makes the monggo softer, thus quicker to cook. I did this by pouring the beans in a large bowl and added around 3 to 4 cups water.

Small thin slices of pork belly are perfect for this recipe. The fat from the belly can be extracted once the pork is seared. It will be used to saute the onion and garlic — additional oil won’t be needed. Thinly sliced pork are quicker to cook and gets tender easily. It will save you time.

While coconut milk and seasonings helped make the dish creamy and tasty, the pork cube did a great job in bringing out the pork flavor. It was right on the spot.

    Okay lang ba kung walang “ampalaya leaves”? Is there a substitute? I don’t think I can get that in London

      Yes, that is fine. As long as you have spinach or any green leafy vegetable of your choice, you should be alright.
