Munggo or Balatong as I grew up calling it, is a traditional Filipino stew made from Mung Beans. Mung Beans are a protein-packed legume grown in East Asia, Southeast Asia, and India. This might be the first time you’ve heard of mung beans, but it’s actually used in popular plant-based products such as Just Egg and Beyond Meat. This dish is super hearty, real yummy, and reminds me of my childhood.
