About Monggo with ampalaya
Monggo with Ampalaya is a hearty Filipino dish combining mung beans (monggo) and bitter melon (ampalaya), often enjoyed as a nutritious main or side dish. This flavorful stew typically includes garlic, onions, and tomatoes sautéed in oil, with the addition of nutrient-rich ampalaya and sometimes spinach or moringa leaves for a boost of greens. Protein options such as shrimp, pork, or small amounts of fish sauce may be included. Originating in Filipino home kitchens, it reflects a blend of simplicity and health-conscious cooking. Packed with fiber, plant-based protein, vitamins A and C, and iron, it promotes good digestion and supports immunity. However, those watching salt intake should be mindful of added seasoning or fish sauce. Despite the bitter taste of ampalaya, this dish is a wholesome choice for anyone seeking a nutrient-dense meal rooted in Filipino traditions.
