Lasang Pinoy 12 (fusion cooking ): sauteed mongo sprouts and asparagus with oyster sauce
My second entry for Lasang Pinoy 12: fusion cooking. And if I know me, there will be a third entry before the deadline on July 31st. Not because I am consciously striving to have so many entries but because cooking Filipino dishes in this manner simply is my kind of thing. It’s like jazzing up old favorites.
So, we take the humble togue guisado and transform it. But this dish is really more than just about fusion cooking. This is about pacifying two bickering adolescents. My 13-year-old daughter Sam wanted an asparagus dish for dinner last Sunday while 12-year-old Alex wanted togue (mongo or mung bean sprouts). In fact, they had been arguing since the night before when we were in the supermarket and choosing what vegetables we would cook for the next couple of days. So I combined the vegetables they wanted to eat. Sam even had an extra plate of asparagus all to herself.
And, of course, this is more than just a sauteed dish. The traditional way of cooking togue guisado is to add shrimps. Since I cannot eat shrimps, to make up for the loss in flavor, I added some oyster sauce to my togue.

I just fixed this for lunch today. I had all the ingredients except the asparagus. I substituted garlic stalks instead. My eldest had two servings (he actually thanked me for the great meal). It was great with the leftover grilled porkchop from last dinner. Thanks for the great recipe Connie!
Glad you enjoyed it Doddie. Even more glad that your kid had two servings.
Hi Connie,
Just want to let you know that when all else fail, I also use sesame seed oil and oyster sauce with any combination of veggies like kangkong and okra.
But your combination really looks yummy. Luto ako nito when I get to buy some asparagus.
Thanks again Connie for concoctions that are so delish!!!
