Browsing through my friend's Facebook photos made me do a double take, for nestled in her new posts was this recipe. It's a childhood food that I have seem forgotten and can't even remember when I've last tasted. Cravings to recapture the taste made me rush to the Asian store to purchase needed coconut milk.
So upon my feverish desire to bring back old memories, here is Ginataang Munggo (Guinataang Monggo). A Filipino afternoon treat made up of sticky rice (glutinous rice), toasted mung beans, coconut milk and sugar. Tell me what you think!
Ingredients:
1 can coconut milk (400 ml.) or 2 cups coconut milk
2 cups water
1/2 cup Mung Beans
pinch of salt
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1/2 cup glutinous rice
Procedure:
1. Toast the mung beans in a pan. Once brown, take it off the fire and pound with mortar and pestle. Winnow it.
2. Boil the coconut milk with water and add in the washed glutinous rice and toasted mung beans. Bring to a boil, then lower the temperature.
3. Stir occasionally for 30 minutes adding hot water when consistency becomes too sticky.
4. Once rice and beans are done, add sugar and salt. Serve hot or cold based on your preference.
