All the Variations You Asked For

1. Monggo Recipe Without Pork / Vegetarian Monggo
   Skip pork. Use 2 tbsp cooking oil + mushroom seasoning or extra tinapa flakes. Still insanely delicious.
2. Monggo Recipe with Chicken
   Replace pork with 300g chicken thigh cubes. Same method — lighter but still comforting.
3. Monggo Recipe with Gata (Ginataang Monggo)
   After beans are creamy, add 1 can (400ml) coconut milk + dahon ng sili. Simmer 5 minutes. Creamy heaven.
4. Monggo Recipe with Kalabasa & Sitaw
   Add 2 cups of cubed kalabasa + a handful of sitaw when you add ampalaya. Sweet + crunchy upgrade.
5. Monggo Recipe with Sardines
   Canned sardines in tomato sauce → stir in at the end. Budget-friendly and nostalgic.
6. Monggo Guisado with Sotanghon
   Add soaked cellophane noodles 5 minutes before serving — turns it into a one-pot meal.
7. Sprouted Monggo Recipe (Ginisang Toge)
   Use fresh monggo sprouts instead of dried beans. Sauté with garlic, onion, tomato, and shrimp.
8. Monggo Soup Recipe (Clear Version)
   Use fewer beans, more water/stock, no mashing → light and brothy.
