Best Philippines Monggo Beans And Pechay Mung Beans And Bok Choi Recipes
PHILIPPINES MONGGO BEANS AND PECHAY (MUNG BEANS AND BOK CHOI)
This is my favorite way to eat mung beans and bok choy. I think it's the ginger flavor that really makes it good to me. It's a Philippines dish that my Filipino friend and helper, Marina, makes for me often. Mung (Monggo) beans are extremely high in calcium and are also have a lot of iron and protein. Bok Choy (Pechay) also has a lot of calcium, iron, vitamin A, and a ton of vitamin C. So, this dish is really nutrient packed by these two items alone! Cooking time doesn't include time to cook mung beans. Tastes nice served over rice.

IRAQI MUNG BEANS AND RICE - MASH M'TUBUQ
The recipe I have is called mash m'tubuq or layered mung beans and rice in English. Mung beans are commonly known as bean sprouts in Chinese food but in this case, they're not sprouted first. I make it quite often and is a high source of protein though I make it w/o meat (meat can be used and should be lamb). This is my recipe but, since I've never really measured, the amounts are approximate and I use a rice cooker but it's not necessary, just convenient:

Steps:
- If using a rice cooker, measure the amount of water for the rice only. Otherwise, mix all ingredients together and cover with water that measures about the width of a finger above the rice line. Cover, bring to a boil, lower heat and allow to steam for about 1/2 hour. You can check the rice and beans for doneness.
- Traditionally, when the rice is half cooked, it's divided in half, the mung beans and onions are laid on the bottom half of the rice in the pan and the rest of the rice is then laid on top (hence "m'tubuq" meaning "layered". Cover again and continue to steam.
- When done, it can be served with plain yogurt or date syrup (dibbis). I prefer nice tart yogurt.

PHILIPPINE MUNG BEANS IN COCONUT MILK
I think I would eat anything, as long as it was cooked in coconut milk (not an assertion I really want to test). This is from Sundays at Moosewood.

Steps:
- Soak the beans in water for several hours or overnight. Drain, then cook them until tender (about 1 hour). Drain.
- While the beans are cooking, saute the onions in the oil with salt.
- When translucent, add ginger, chiles, and garlic. Simmer on low heat for a few minutes.
- Add the coconut milk and simmer for 5 more minutes.
- Combine the beans and the coconut milk mixture in a large pot. Add the soy sauce and chard, and cook until the chard wilts.
- Remove from heat and serve (I like it with rice).
MUNG BEANS STICKY RICE (VIETNAMESE XOI VO)
I loved this dish growing up. It's so versatile, breakfast, lunch, dinner, snack, whatever meal. Sweet or savory. This dish works anytime. Found the recipe at petitechef.com. I have not yet made it. But I keep all my recipes here. I don't use the sesame sugar due to my allergy to sesame seeds. However, I've always seen them served together. It must be good.

Steps:
- Drain mung bean and steam for 20 minutes. After steaming then mash it, so they are in various stages of mashiness.
- Drain the glutinous rice and mix with the mashed mung bean. Add in the salt and mix well.
- Steam the mung bean rice on a cheesecloth for 15 minutes. Then add in the sugar and toss to mix well, but don't crush the rice grains. Steam for another couple minutes until the rice is tender (it becomes clear when cooked). The rice should taste a little sweet. The rice should also be separated and not stick together.
- Serve alone or with some sugar sesame. Remember to pound some of the sesame to give it more fragrance and then mix together with salt and sugar.
