monggo guisado with dilis and malunggay

There are more than a handful recipes that involves balatong or mung beans. You can mix and match the ingredients and come-up with your own version of Monggo Guisado. The trick here is to use the ingredients that will work well if mixed with mung beans. Pork and shrimp are included in the usual recipe, while you can make use of dilis (anchovies), daing, and tuyo and see what you like best. As for the vegetable, malunggay, hot pepper leaves (dahon ng sili), and spinach can be used. I am using malunggay for this recipe. It is a simple vegetable with lots of good benefits to our health. See how malunggay can help us stay healthy.

Some people like their monggo dish to have more liquid in it, as if it were as a soup dish. This recipe will give you a soup-like result that you can enjoy with steamed white rice.
