Mama Sita's Ginisang Monggo Instant Mung Bean Soup Mix 60g

Mama Sita's Ginisang Monggo mung bean soup mix

Bring a familiar Filipino comfort dish to your kitchen with Mama Sita's Ginisang Monggo Instant Mung Bean Soup Mix. This 60g pouch is a handy dehydrated version of ginisang monggo, a dish built around mung beans, onion, garlic and leafy greens. The pack describes it as a popular Philippine dish made with mung beans, malunggay leaves and spices. Its compact size makes it a practical choice when you want to put a warm bowl on the table without starting with dried beans. Keep one in the cupboard for a meal when time is short, or use it as a starting point for your own version of this much loved dish.

The ingredients on the packet include 80% mung beans, fresh onion, coconut oil, salt, fresh garlic and horseradish leaves, also identified as malunggay. That combination gives you a bean based foundation to build on, rather than a finished bowl with the pictured extras already inside. The vegetables and seafood shown on the front are a serving suggestion. If you enjoy exploring Filipino pantry staples, browse our Filipino products for more ideas to bring to your table. The pouch contains one 60g serving according to the nutrition panel, so it is straightforward to plan a bowl for one or to prepare more than one pouch for a larger meal.

How to prepare and serve ginisang monggo soup

The recipe printed on the back is simple. Combine the entire 60g pouch with one cup, or 250ml, of water in a small saucepan. Bring it to the boil for a minute, then stir in 20g of fresh spinach or ampalaya leaves. Add patis, or fish sauce, if you like, and serve the soup hot. Check that everything is heated through before eating. The packet also suggests tinapa, which is smoked fish flakes, or cooked shrimps as optional variations. Those additions are not listed as ingredients of the soup mix itself.

Make the bowl your own by following the printed recipe first, then deciding whether you want extra leaves or one of the suggested toppings. A little fresh spinach stirred in at the end adds colour, while the mung beans remain at the centre of the dish. You can serve the soup as a simple warming meal, or put it alongside other food for a Filipino inspired supper. If you are shopping for other cupboard options to have ready for busy evenings, take a look at our soups collection. Keep the pouch in a clean, cool and dry place as the packaging instructs, and check the printed pack before preparing it for the most current directions.
