Shrimp Monggo with Lechon Kawali

Posted on: June 28, 2017 by:Vanjo Merano | Updated on: September 2, 2018

I think that Shrimp Monggo with Lechon Kawali makes a good pair along with a cup of rice — or maybe two cups. The shrimp monggo was very tasty and I enjoyed every bite of the  lechon kawali — it was crispylicious! This combination should be regular at my household at least once a month.

While these dishes are delicious, I also like the fact that these are easy to prepare. I used minimal ingredients and yet I still got the yummy outcome that I was expecting.

For example, I only coated the pork belly with KLS (Knorr Liquid Seasoning). There were no spices or herbs added to the water as I was boiling it. Normally, I would have an array of ingredients to help make the meat flavorful. The shrimp monggo, on the other hand, was a basic recipe. I added a piece of shrimp cube to let the taste of the shrimp stand out. It was delightful.

I am a fan of lechon sauce, as most of you know by now. However, it did not use any when I had this combination. The shrimp monggo was enough to complement the pork and vice versa.


If you are really craving for lechon sauce, try to make extra pieces of lechon kawali. You can eat it later on with liver sauce, or make lechon paksiw with it.
