Ginisang Togue with Tokwa
Ginisang Togue with Tokwa. It was when I come to Manila that I have first tasted togue or mung bean sprouts. It was unheard off in our household back in the place where I grow up. I could not forget the first time I tried ginisang togue with diced tokwa and small shrimps.

Ginisang Togue with Tokwa Recipe

The tastes of togue was something foreign to my young taste buds that time I could not resist flavor of almost uncooked tastes of togue which also give an after taste that usually linger for sometime and the taste of tokwa and shrimp juice. Since then ginisang togue is one of my favorite vegetable dish, it is regularly cooked at our home. Here is my version.

1 small size carrot, cut into 2” strips
1 medium size tomato, chopped
1 medium size onion, chopped
1/2 head garlic, chopped
