Ginataang Mais at Monggo is a combination of ginataang mais and ginataang monggo. I enjoy having both dishes for merienda and today I am craving for both at the same time — so I made a single dish that is somewhat a hybrid.
To be honest, I am not sure how this Ginataang Mais at Monggo idea will turn out. Sure, both dishes taste good when eaten separately, but it does not guarantee that the result will be at least good if both dishes are combined into one. However, the doubt was cleared when I tastes the result; it was good, or should I say even better than having each dish on separate instances . I think that this experiment was a success.
To me, there are only two ways to enjoy Ginataang Mais at Monggo: eat it while it is hot, or enjoy it when is chilled. I like it cold as a dessert, while it should be really hot during merienda time.
Let me share with you the steps on how I made the toasted mung beans (tustadong monggo). Here is how I did it: heat an empty frying pan. Once the pan is hot, scoop a cup of fresh hard mung beans and pour it on the pan. Toast the beans over medium heat while trying to move the pan in a forward and backward motion every few seconds. This will help cook the beans evenly. Continue toasting until the mung beans turn brown. Let the mung beans cool down and then crack it using a mortar and pestle tool.
Use either fresh sweet corn, frozen sweet corn, or sweet corn on the can. White corn can also be used, but you will have to add additional sugar to balance the sweetness. If you have questions, let me know by commenting below.
Try this delicious Ginataang Mais at Monggo for dessert or merienda. Let me know what you think.

Hi po, ask ko lng po bakit po kaya nagmantika yung ginataang monngo ko? Parang naglasang latik po.
Vanjo Merano says
Yheng, it might be from the coconut milk. Did you use fresh coconut milk or was it fresh coconut cream?
Oftentimes, the oil from fresh coco milk or cream gets extracted quickly when exposed to high heat. I suggest that next time around, try to lessen the heat and cook it on a shorter span of time.

Hi! Will it differ po kung green or red mung beans ang gagamitin? Thank you!
Rose says
i tried this, pero bakit po yung toasted mung hindi po lumambot? ang sarap sana kaso nakakairita lang kainin nung niluto ko dahil sa matigas na mung. ?
pls advice me how to get soft this toasted mung.
Vanjo Merano says
Hi rose, kailangan nating i-crack yung toasted mung beans gamit and almires bago lutuin. Kung sa tingin mo ay medyo matigas pa ito, dagdagan mo lang ng tubig o gata at ituloy lang ang pagluto sa mahinang apoy habang hinahalo hanggang sa lumambot.

Im going to try this later. I bought cracked mung beans in the supermarket. I hope this would suffice para hindi ko na siya i-crack haha. lalagyan ko din ng milk para mas masarap .
Vanjo Merano says

Bong says
Bossing, quick question. Pag crack nang mung beans after frying, isang crack lang ga or kailang durugin? Salamat!! Also, I tried your brazo recipe last weekend and it was a success! Parang Goldilocks! You are the best and your website is also the best!! Salamat!
Vanjo Merano says
Hi Bong, you can split the roast mung beans into 2 or more pieces. Pero, dahan-dahan sa pag bayo. Dapat coarse ang texture, parang rock salt.
Bong says
Ah, okay, salamat muli 🙂 I hope you make a video of this as well. All of your videos are super helpful! Regards.
Bong says
Wow! I’m gonna try this! Thank you bossing!! 🙂
