Mongo Guisado
Ingredients:
4 cups water
1 1/4 cups green mongo (mung) beans
2 tbsp oil
1/2 small onion, chopped
3-4 cloves garlic, chopped
1/2 cup diced pork
1 cup small prawns, peeled, heads discarded

2 tbsp patis (fish sauce)
Salt and pepper to taste
100 g (3 1/2 oz) chicharon (pork crackers), coarsely ground
Mongo Guisado Cooking Instructions
Soak the (mongo)mung beans in about 2 cups water for 4 hours.
Bring the same water to the boil and simmer beans until tender and most of the water has been absorbed, about 20 to 30 mins. Set aside.
Heat oil in a casserole and sauté onion and garlic until soft and fragrant. Add diced pork and sauté until brown.
Stir in mung beans and 2 cups fresh water. Bring to boil and simmer over medium heat until pork is fully cooked (add more water if necessary).
Add the prawns and cook until they turn orange in color, about 1 to 2 mins.
Season with patis, salt and pepper.

We're going to have this on top of fragrant jasmine rice since we have a rice monster in our house.
