  • 2 cups water
  • 0.5 pound raw mung beans
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 onion, chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 0.25 pound boneless pork loin, cut into 1-inch cubes
  • salt and ground black pepper to taste
  • 0.25 pound peeled and deveined prawns
  • 1 small tomato, diced
  • 3 cups chicken broth, or more as needed
  • 0.5 pound fresh spinach leaves

Method
 

  1. Bring water and mung beans to a boil in a pot; boil until beans are soft, about 40 minutes. Mash beans; set aside.
  2. Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add onion and garlic; cook and stir until softened, 5 to 7 minutes. Add pork; season with salt and black pepper. Cook and stir 3 minutes. Gently stir in prawns; cook 2 minutes. Add tomatoes; cook 3 minutes more. Reduce heat. Add chicken broth; simmer and stir for 5 minutes.
  3. Add mashed beans; mix well. Cook 5 minutes, stirring frequently to prevent soup from sticking to the bottom of the pot. Add more chicken broth or water if soup is too thick. Stir spinach leaves into soup; cook 2 minutes more. Serve hot.
