Ingredients:

2 cups mung beans
1 lb pork belly (about 4 pcs)
100 g dried shrimp (hibe)

1 tsp salt
1 tsp ground pepper
½ medium chopped white or yellow onion
5 cloves garlic minced
1 medium sliced tomato

7. Cook in low fire until all the flavors are combined together, for about 3 minutes.
8. Add the mixture in the cooked mung beans and continue to simmer for 5 minutes.
