Ginisang Munggo with Tinapa and Fried Red Snapper was the perfect combination for lunch; all it needed was a cup of warm rice. This is one of my favorite mung bean recipes. I liked how simple this dish was and I enjoyed the combination of munggo and fried fish along with the extra smokey flavor of the tinapa (smoked fish). The texture from the crispy fried red snapper was simply amazing.

Ginisang Munggo with Tinapa and Fried Snapper

I started by soaking the mung beans in water. I had the munggo sit there overnight so that it can absorb water. This process makes the mung beans become softer, which makes it quicker to cook. The remaining water needs to be discarded after the process.

The Red snapper fillets were prepared first. This was done a few minutes before cooking the Mung beans. Simply rub the fish fillet with salt. Feel free to use other fish varieties. Make sure to fry both sides of the fish until the color turns golden brown. Here is a link that tells you more about this fish.

The Mung beans were cooked after sauteeing the garlic, onion, tomato, and smoked fish. Water needs to be added for the Mung beans to absorb so that it can be soft and mushy. Malunggay leaves were added to provide additional nutritional benefits to this ginisangย munggo dish.You can add more water if you want your dish to be soup-like. Adjust the flavor later on by adding more fish sauce.
