Guinataang Monggo
Published on October 20th, 2009.
I remember the days when our family used to eat together during sunday lunch. It has been a family tradition that has been observed by our grandparents. Usually, each of us would prepare our own dish, from appetizers, to main course, up to the desert. My favorite main dish when I was young was the Guinataang monggo. It’s like a mung bean soup with the coconut milk as a base. The dish contains not just the mung beans, but there are also other vegetables that are included in the dish. Examples of these veggies are the squash, eggplant and horseradish. This is a very healthy dish and very delicious too!! It’s an exemption to the rule that healthy food are the one which tastes bland. As much as I wanted to make this dish, it is just so sad that I can’t. Unfortunately, not all ingredients for this dish can be bought in the Asian stores here in the U.S.
