Did you know you can teach your friend how to cook a meal through video call?

It may not be the same ingredients we used back home from the Philippines but with her ingredients we can improvise to make it something close to home.

My friend had some fresh small shrimp, tomato, onion, spinach and bottle white beans. I told my friend she can make into munggo even if the beans we're not exactly the beans we used either way she can eat something that looked like a Filipino dish.

You can find my recipe of my Munggo Recipe through this link to direct you to it.
