Monggo (Mung Bean Soup)
Monggo, or more commonly known as mung bean, is a common ingredient in Asian cooking. It’s so versatile that you can find it in desserts, savory dishes or, in this case, a healthy and hearty soup. This version of Monggo has pork in it to give it a meatier flavor and also uses a healthy amount of another Filipino staple, the Moringa leaves. However, if you are unable to get those, you can always substitute them with spinach. Once ready, pour in a serving bowl and serve with steamed white rice.
