Mung Beans with Shrimp Recipe:

Ingredients:

1 cup mung beans
200g shrimp
1 cup spinach leaves
1 tsp ground pepper
1 tbsp cooking oil
1 medium onion, chopped
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 thumb-sized piece of ginger, sliced
1 medium tomato, sliced
1 shrimp cube (or broth cube)
1 tbsp fish sauce
1 green chili
1 glass of water

Instructions:

Step 1: Boil the Mung Beans

Rinse 1 cup of mung beans thoroughly, then place them in a pot of boiling water.
Let them cook for at least 30 minutes until they are tender.
Once fully cooked, drain and set aside for later use.
Step 2: Sauté the Aromatics

Heat 1 tablespoon of cooking oil in a frying pan over medium heat.
Add 3 cloves of minced garlic and the sliced ginger. Stir and sauté for a few minutes until fragrant.
Step 3: Add the Onion

Toss in 1 chopped onion and stir it into the garlic and ginger. Cook until the onion becomes soft and translucent.
Step 4: Add the Tomato

Add 1 sliced tomato to the pan. Stir everything together and let the tomato soften, releasing its juices into the mix.
Step 5: Cook the Shrimp

Add the 200g of shrimp to the pan. Stir in 1 teaspoon of ground pepper.
Cook the shrimp for a few minutes until they turn a bright orange color. Make sure they are cooked through, but don’t overcook them.
Step 6: Add the Cooked Mung Beans

Pour the cooked mung beans into the pan with the shrimp mixture. Stir everything together to combine all the flavors.
Step 7: Add the Shrimp Cube and Water

Add 1 shrimp cube (or broth cube) and stir until dissolved.
If the mixture seems too thick, add 1 glass of water to loosen it up. Stir and let it simmer for a few minutes.
Step 8: Season and Add Spinach

Add 1 tablespoon of fish sauce to the dish for extra flavor.
Then, add 1 cup of spinach leaves and stir them into the mixture. Let it cook for a few more minutes until the spinach wilts and the broth is boiling.
Step 9: Taste and Serve

Taste your dish and adjust seasoning if needed. Once everything is cooked through and flavorful, your Mung Beans (Monggo) with Shrimp is ready to serve!
Enjoy it as is, or pair it with steamed rice for a complete meal. Thank you. Enjoy! Cheers!
