Cooking tips:
It is important to prepare the mung beans hour or a day before cooking. Monggo should be soaked in water until it becomes softer to make your cooking time shorter. I recommend soaking it overnight, but three hours should be enough if you don't have time.Other Filipino Chicken Recipes:

It looks weird, but I want to make it and try something new. Is this any traditional dish?
Healthy Filipino eats says
Filipinos love cooking this dish as it is a very healthy dish. Sometimes, instead of alugbati leaves, we use bittermelon leaves.

I really enjoyed the meal the first time. Problem I had with making the dish was it seems the recipe was missing a step or 2., has some things missing from it. Like when I made this dish a couple of weeks ago. I am making again tonight for dinner, I will be putting diced potatoes, carrots, and carrots, instead of using String beans.
