My favorite beans and rice combination is munge beans and rice. I
like them cooked down so it's at least half mushy, mainly more so with
just a few whole beans left. Apparently I'm not the only one who
likes it that way because I can buy bags of split munge beans now
which cuts the cooking time significantly. Munge beans cook quickly,
like lentils, so I reach that consistency faster using the split
beans.

When I cook munge beans, I use a smoked pork chop, meaty ham bone or a
ham hock, water or stock, chopped onion, garlic, bay leaf and soy
sauce.
