Mung bean stew. It's creamy and it's plant-based, babyyy! 🌱🌱🌱

Don't go looking for a meat in this bowl coz you're not gonna find one. Just the simplest ingredients of mung bean stewed with coconut milk, tomatoes, spinach and herbs. Packed with protein, iron and essential vitamins, this will help you get through this bitter winter.

And oh, it's yummy too.
