Ginisang Munggo with Bacon and Pork Chicharon

Mung Bean Soup with Bacon and Pork Chicharon
Mung Bean Soup with Bacon and Pork Chicharon. Here is another innovative version of ginisang munggo. This ginisang munggo is cooked as a thick soup then served with bacon and pork chicharon garnish or toppings. For the recipe I used split mung beans for easier and shorter cooking time to make the beans into thick soup consistency. As an alternative use coarsely ground mung beans that are usually available in Metro Manila markets.

Munggo with Bacon and Pork Chicharon

Cooking is basically the same with the usual ginisang munggo except that the mung beans have to be cooked till it disintegrate and form into thick soup consistency.
