How to clean mung beans or monggo:

Pick through the beans. Spread them out and remove any small stones, dirt, or shriveled beans. Rinse well. Wash the monggo in a bowl with water, swirl it around, then drain. Repeat 2–3 times until the water looks clearer. Check for floating debris. When rinsing, some impurities or broken skin might float—skim them off and discard.

Ingredients

  • 2 Cup mung beans (monggo)
  • 2 Tablespoon cooking oil
  • 3 Clove garlic, chopped
  • 1 Medium onion, chopped
  • 1 Medium tomato, sliced
  • 150 Gram pork, thinly sliced
  • 4 Cup water (adjust if needed)
  • 3 Tablespoon fish sauce
  • Salt and pepper to taste
Keep screen awake

Directions

Step 1

Rinse the beans thoroughly under running water. In a pot, combine monggo and 4 cups of water. Bring to a boil, then lower the heat and simmer for about 30–35 minutes or until the beans are soft. Set aside.

Step 2

Heat cooking oil in a pot over medium heat. Add chopped garlic and sauté until lightly golden. Add chopped onion and cook until translucent. Add sliced tomato and cook until softened.

Step 3

Add the thinly sliced pork to the pot. Cook until lightly browned and no longer pink.

Step 4

Pour the cooked monggo including its liquid into the pot. Stir well to combine all ingredients. Add more water if needed.

Step 5

Add fish sauce, then stir. Let it simmer for 5–10 minutes to allow the flavors to blend. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

Step 6

Serve hot, best paired with steamed rice.
