Ginisang Munggo with Dumplings and Shrimp is a Filipino dish made with mung beans, shrimp, and dumplings. Mung beans, also known as green beans, are a popular ingredient in many Filipino dishes and are a good source of protein and fiber.
To make this dish, the mung beans are first boiled until they become soft and then mashed to form a thick paste. The mashed beans are then sautéed with garlic, onions, and tomatoes to add flavor. The shrimp is added next and cooked until it turns pink.
The dumplings are made separately by mixing flour, water, and salt to form a dough. The dough is then shaped into small balls and boiled until they float to the surface. The dumplings are then added to the mung bean mixture and cooked for a few more minutes until they become soft.
