Recipe: Ginisang Munggo with Sotanghon

I’ve missed eating munggo guisado.  However, the recipe I had at hand was the one with pork crackling.  Because I can’t eat unhealthy food, I had to look for another munggo guisado recipe to satisfy my craving.

Good thing, Kawaling Pinoy has this Munggo Guisado with Sotanghon.  It looked interesting especially with the photo posted on the site.

I followed the recipe step by step.  It wasn’t that hard to follow but I wished I scaled it to 1/2 as the serving was really huge!

After having tasted this dish, even though I liked it, I prefer munggo guisado without sotanghon. I guess I really prefer simple dishes with much fewer ingredients.

Nevertheless, this is a great recipe!
