Ginisang Munggo (also spelled Monggo) translates to Sauteed Mung Beans and it is also known as Mung Bean Stew or Mung Bean Soup. It is made up of cooked mung beans, a popular legume in the Philippines, combined with pork, spinach, and other optional light proteins. Cooking Ginisang Munggo would involve three major steps.
Saute garlic in the veg oil until light brown. Add onions, fry until translucent. Add tomatoes, stir for 5-6 minutes. Add cooked monggo beans and bring to a simmer. Simmer, with occasional stirring for 5 minutes. Add malunggay leaves, salt and 1 tbsp calamansi juice. Stir and simmer.

Ginisang munggo has a lot of health benefits, like protein, fiber, folate, and phosphorus because of the meat and all the many veggies included in one pan.
