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!
