Filippino Mung Bean Soup
'Ginisang Munggo' is a standard home-cooked dish of the Philippines. It's delicious even without meat.
The older the fish sauce, the saltier it gets, to be careful not to add too much. Generally, the soup is topped with a bitter green like bitter melon greens, but spinach or mulūkhīya are also tasty. Recipe by Hoink

Cooking Instructions
- 1
Prep the ingredients Rinse the mung beans, then soak in water for 6 hours.
- 2
Thinly slice the onion, mince the garlic, rough chop the tomato, and cube the pork into 1 cm wide pieces.
- 3
Put the pork into a pot with a thick bottom, and slowly sauté on low heat until the fat becomes brown and crisp.
- 4
Lightly blot the melted fat with a paper towel, then, to one side, add vegetable oil and the garlic, and slowly sauté until lightly browned.
- 5
Add the onions, sauté until tender, add the tomatos, then combine all the ingredients with the pork. Add the fish sauce.
- 6
Add the mung beans and water, then heat on high. Skim any scum from the surface, reduce to low-medium, cover pot with a lid, then simmer until the beans are tender.

After about 30 minutes, the beans will start to split open. Add the consomme, then simmer for about 5 minutes to blend the flavors. If it needs more salt, add more fish sauce to taste.

Add the leaves of the spinach, cover the pot for 1 to 2 minutes, then it's done!
