Pork Monggo Recipe

I still don’t have an answer as to why people typically cook monggo on a Friday. However, it should not stop us from cooking Pork Monggo any day of the week and any time of the day. After all, it is easy-to-prepare, budget-friendly, healthy, and delicious. I have the recipe with cooking video ready for you.

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. Mung beans are not expensive and a few cups of these along with meat and other key ingredients would be enough to feed a family of 6 (or even more).

I like this pork monggo recipe a lot because it is simple and delicious. The taste of the pork stands out, while the addition of chicharon bits on top is a bonus that adds texture to the dish.

Did you know that mung beans are good sources of nutrients? I got even more excited after learning that it is a good source of protein. I think that eating pork monggo can easily help us reach our daily recommended protein intake since both pork and mung beans are good protein sources. I also added malunggay leaves and spinach in the recipe to make this dish healthier. I think that we are all aware about the health benefits of malunggay and that of spinach.
