Munggo Guisado (Sautéed Mung Beans)

Friday 2 Jun 2006

Munggo (mung beans) can be found in any Asian Store. It's one of the staples in most Asian country. Guisado (sautéed) as what we Filipino are calling mostly of our food because of the way we cook it.

In our household, I see to it that I have a variety of Filipino food in our table every week. My desire is to let my children continue to like and love to eat filipino food like we do back home. It is in a way of not to be homesick even with our food. And I’m thankful that they still do!

Ingredients :

· 1 cup munggo (mung beans)
· 3 cups water
· 1 tbsp. vegetable oil
· 1/2 lb. pork, sliced
· 2 cloves garlic, minced
· 1 onion, chopped
· 2 tomatoes, chopped
· 2 pcs. Chinese sausage, cubed (optional)
· 2 cups water or broth
· 1 tbsp. patis (fish sauce)
· salt to taste

After my American kids went to San Diego to visit their Filipino relatives, they have been begging for mongo beans. Thank you for such a delicious recipe! Now, I just need to find a store that carries ampalaya leaves. However spinach leaves were a good substitution.
