Put the mung beans and water in a pot and cook for 30 minutes, until tender.
In a separate pan, soften the onion and garlic in vegetable oil.
Add the tomatoes and cook for 5 minutes.
Add the shrimp and turn for 3 minutes, until they change color.
Transfer this mixture to the bean pot and add the fish sauce and black pepper.
Add the spinach and cook for 5 more minutes.
Serve hot once the consistency thickens.
💡 Tip: Do not mash the mung beans too much; leaving some whole keeps the home-style texture between soup and stew.
🍽️ Serving suggestion: Serve ginisang munggo with steamed rice, a lime wedge, and fresh hot pepper.
