Cooking Blog: Ginisang Munggo For Our Lunch

Hello, how are you? When they say Friday is Ginisang Munggo day, people mean it, but sometimes we eat it on Saturday LOL. But there is this myth that my parents said that eating Munggo at night is not good, but why, whenever there are leftovers from lunch, it is fine to eat it at dinner hahaha. I don’t get the logic sometimes, so parents are more stubborn, so we just go with the belief.

Ginisang Munggo is the easiest and most budget-friendly dish to cook. Imagine this dish can feed us, here we are, five in this household.

Ingredients I Used:

---

Let's Cook!

In a pot with the Munggo, I added enough water to cover the beans, and then I boiled it until the water almost evaporated. And then I run the pot into running water, and that way it removes the skin of the bean.

---

When almost all the skin is removed, I place the pot onto the stove, and then I pour a litre of water into it to make the boiling process faster. Just let it boil for a moment.

---

In a pan, I added about a tablespoon of cooking oil, and then I am going to add the meat.

---

Let it cook until the texture turns crispy. The meat I used has a lot of fat on it, so I removed the excess oil from the pan.

---

I added the garlic, red onion, and ginger, and let it sauté until the aroma comes out.

---

Then I added the tomatoes, cook it until their texture of it turn in a mushy, that way it can give more color and flavor to the dish.

---

Then I added two tablespoons of fish sauce and let the fish sauce seep into the tomatoes for a few seconds.

---

Mix everything up to incorporate all the flavors and ingredients.

---

And then I transfer all of them into the pot of Munggo beans I am boiling earlier.

---

When I transfer everything up, I wait for it to boil.

---

And then I added one chicken broth cube and let it boil for about 15-20 minutes. It is up to you if you want a runny or thick consistency.

---

After that, I added the green chilis and then boil it for about 3 minutes.

---

For the final ingredient, I am going to add the malunggay leaves and cook them for about two minutes, and done!

---

This is what it looks like. I suggest you eat it while it is still hot, that is the best time to eat it.

---

Serve hot and plated.

---

Happy eating.
