Munggo stew is a simple Filipino dish of cooked mung beans sautéed with onion, garlic, and tomato paste, then finished with spinach and fish sauce. The salty, savory flavor of the fish sauce balances the beans’ earthy taste.
Heat the cooking oil, add the onion and garlic, and sauté.
Add the tomato paste and cook briefly, then stir in the fish sauce.
Add the cooked mung beans and water. Bring to a boil, then simmer over low heat for 10 minutes.
Add the spinach and season with black pepper. Cook for 5 more minutes, until the leaves wilt, then remove from the heat.
Add the fish sauce at the end; if boiled for too long, its saltiness may become sharp and bitter. Skim the foam while boiling the beans to avoid a slightly bitter stew. Allergen: contains fish (fish sauce).
