Pork Monggo Recipe

Pork Monggo Recipe Panlasang Pinoy

Pork monggo is not your typical ginisang monggo dish because it was prepared differently. You just need to wash the beans after removing it from the packaging and cook it immediately – no soaking needed. This saves you time, which you can use to do other things.

I like the idea on how monggo dishes can stretch my budget. Mung beans are not expensive and a few cups of these along with meat and other key ingredients would be enough to feed a family of 6 (or even more).

Pork Monggo

I like this pork monggo recipe a lot because it is simple and delicious. The taste of the pork stands out, while the addition of chicharon bits on top is a bonus that adds texture to the dish.

Pinoy Pork Monggo Mung Beans Recipe

Did you know that mung beans are good sources of nutrients? I got even more excited after learning that it is a good source of protein. I think that eating pork monggo can easily help us reach our daily recommended protein intake since both pork and mung beans are good protein sources. I also added malunggay leaves and spinach in the recipe to make this dish healthier. I think that we are all aware about the health benefits of malunggay and that of spinach.

    Thank you so much for making this recipe available… My hanai dad used to cook this and the pic looked exactly how he made it except he would mix in the pork rinds to make it soft since he had no teeth… He passed away last year unexpectedly and finding these recipes brings good memories of his cooking…mahalo

    I know why it’s only on friday.. my father told me that back in the days.. people can only go to the public market once a week (or during weekends only) because it’s too far and most (or all) of the vegetables and products they bought won’t last until friday while the beans can last until friday hence they cook them on fridays..haha

    I did this dish for lunch today and it was delicious! I suggest to add a little bit more of patis or salt kapag ung mga kasama mo sa bahay ay sanay sa msg (like my father 🙁 )

    Ginisang monggo is the usual friday fare because you can include leftover fish or pork in cooking it.
