Today, I'm going to share with you my very own Filipino version of **Munggo Guisado**. *"Ginisang monggos"* as it is called in our Cebuano dialect is easy to prepare and of very low budget. A few cups of mung beans along with other ingredients would be enough to feed a family. You can have it any time of the day, but in my case I prefer it best if served during breakfast. The way I prepare **Munggo Guisado** is very simple. I made it best with only a few but healthy ingredients. As always, my goal as a mother is to make my food tasty and delicious for my kids to eat. Here are the ingredients I used in cooking **Munggo Guisado:** *1/4 kilo mung beans soaked in water overnight 3 cloves garlic, chopped 1 small onion, sliced strings of spring onions, sliced thumb-sized crushed ginger 1 cut squash "kalabasa", sliced 1 part chicken meat, chopped 3 cups water 1 piece of knorr chicken cube (optional) salt and ground black pepper to taste 2 tablespoons cooking oil* **The Cooking Process** *Prepare all the ingredients* ![164194451_520428616016716_552040877717585624_n.jpg](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmTGeGydNrbjEgeiLHzDtT3giYMBpAiw5JZ8WZ1j4JmL33/164194451_520428616016716_552040877717585624_n.jpg) *In a pot, place the mung beans that was soaked in water overnight to save a lot of cooking time.* ![164642267_1347416865641529_4025549544003623182_n.jpg](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmQQdhmnbtH1YP7GwSUHq2XGvXZHAqVsyMViAnXVkSw3nF/164642267_1347416865641529_4025549544003623182_n.jpg) *Bring it to boil, until tender.
