I cooked 2 dishes using alugbati (malabar spinach). The first dish was ginisang munggo with alugbati and hibi. The second dish was Sauteed alugbati and Kulitis (amaranth leaves) with tausi, tokwa, and oyster sauce. Both dishes are healthy and super easy to cook. Enjoy!

Alugbati! (Ginisang Munggo at Ginisang Kulitis)

Filipino Monggo (Mung Bean Stew) Recipe

onion, diced

tomato,

garlic, crushed

vegetable oil

meat

dried mung beans

chicken bouillon (10-12 gram pieces)

water

spinach leaves

fish sauce (optional)

Add oil to pot and set to medium heat. Add garlic and onions, then saute until onions are clear.

Add tomatoes and saute for two minutes.

Add your meat (except shrimp) and cook until brown.

Add water, mung beans, and chicken bouillon then bring to a boil.

Keep boiling until beans are soft yet still have a bite to them (about 45 minutes). Add more water to the pot to keep the liquid from disappearing. Otherwise you will burn the monggo.

When beans are cooked, add shrimp at this stage if you are using shrimp as your meat. Stir in the spinach and continue boiling for three minutes or until shrimp is slightly firm then turn off the heat

Optional: Stir in fish sauce before turning off the heat

Serve over white sticky rice and enjoy!
