Hey everyone, hope you are having an amazing day today. Today, we’re going to make a distinctive dish, pork monggo. One of my favorites food recipes. This time, I will make it a little bit unique. This is gonna smell and look delicious.

Pork Monggo is one of the most popular of recent trending meals on earth. It’s simple, it is fast, it tastes delicious. It is enjoyed by millions daily. They are fine and they look wonderful. Pork Monggo is something that I’ve loved my entire life.

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. I like the idea on how monggo dishes can stretch my budget.

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

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

It is rich, tasty, and yummy. Note: see video below for my taste test. Ginisang monggo is a delicious stew that is usually incorporated with pork to give its broth a meatier flavor. There are many variations of this dish; depending on the region it is prepared.

Instructions 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.
