How to cook:

1. Put the water in a pan, and bring to a boil.
2. Put in the Mung beans and simmer until becomes soft (about 35 to 50 minutes).
3. On a separate pan, sauté the garlic,onion, and tomato.
4. Add the pork. Cook for 5 mins.
5. Put in the beef cube and fish sauce, simmer for 10 mins or until the meat is tender. (Note: If necessary, you may add water to help make the meat tender but make sure to add more time to simmer.)

7. Pour in the cooked Mung beans.
8. Stir and then simmer for 10 minutes.
