Hello everybody, it’s me, Dave, welcome to my recipe page. Today, we’re going to prepare a distinctive dish, pork monggo. One of my favorites. For mine, I’m gonna make it a little bit unique. This will be really delicious.

Pork monggo is not your typical ginisang monggo dish because it was prepared differently. You just need to wash the beans after removing it from the packaging and cook it immediately - no soaking needed. This saves you time, which you can use to do other things.

Pork Monggo is one of the most popular of current trending meals on earth. It’s easy, it’s fast, it tastes yummy. It’s appreciated by millions daily. They’re nice and they look wonderful. Pork Monggo is something which I have loved my whole life.

To begin with this particular recipe, we have to first prepare a few components. You can have pork monggo using 14 ingredients and 5 steps. Here is how you can achieve that.

The ingredients needed to make Pork Monggo:

1. Make ready 1/2 kilo pork cut into cubes
2. Prepare 1 cup hibe/dried shrimp
3. Get 1 cup monggo/mung beans
4. Take 1 ampalaya/bittermelon no seed sliced thinly,soaked in hot water
5. Make ready 5 cloves garlic minced
6. Take 1 onion diced
7. Get 2 tomatoes cubed
8. Prepare 1-2 cups malunggay leaves
9. Prepare 2 tablespoons fish sauce
10. Get 1 pork bouillon cube
11. Get 6 cups water
12. Take Cooking oil
13. Get to taste Salt and pepper
14. Make ready Optional: crushed chicharon and tinapa (smoked fish) flakes

This dish is simple to make. However, you will need to prepare the mung beans ahead of time. Munggo with pork or with shrimp are indeed delicious versions in their own right, but the added taste and texture of thick chunks of fatty chicharon just can't be beat! As the crispy pork rinds simmer and soften in the broth, the fat they render infuses the munggo soup with delectable flavor.

Steps to make Pork Monggo:

1. In a pot, boil washed mung beans in water (make sure beans are covered in water, add more whenever necessary to avoid burning) for 30-45 minutes or until soft/cooked. Set aside.
2. Heat pan in oil and add garlic and onion. Cook until garlic is light golden brown and onion is translucent. Add tomatoes and dried shrimp cook for about 2-3 minutes.Add ampalaya/bitter melon or gourd that was soaked in hot water to remove bitterness (make sure to rinse and remove water from ampalaya). Set aside.
3. In the same pan, add pork and cook for about 20-30 minutes or until all sides have browned. If the cut pork has fat, I like making sure the fat part is toasted to make it crunchy. Or just throw the pork in the air fryer to cook.
4. Add cooked pork, garlic, onions, ampalaya/bittermelon, tomatoes, dried shrimp and pork cube to the pot with the cooked monggo beans and bring to a boil. Add fish sauce, salt, and pepper to taste. Simmer for about 5 minutes. Turn the heat off. Add malunggay leaves and cover pot for another 5 minutes to let the residual heat cook the leaves.
5. Serve with chicharon or tinapa flakes on top and with a side of steamed white rice.

This local bean dish is not only nutritious, it's also good and easy to whip up! Ginisang monggo is a delicious stew that is usually incorporated with pork to give its broth a meatier flavor. Thinly sliced pork are quicker to cook and gets tender easily. While coconut milk and seasonings helped make the dish creamy and tasty, the pork cube did a great job in bringing out the pork flavor. It was right on the spot.
