The Illest Ilokano Dish-"Pinakbet"

in #foodphotography7 years ago (edited)

Image.1234.jpg Pinakbet (also called pakbet or pinak bet) is an indigenous Filipino dish from the northern regions of the Philippines. Pinakbet is made from mixed vegetables steamed in fish or shrimp sauce. The word is the contracted form of the Ilokano word pinakebbet, meaning "shrunk" or "shriveled". This Pinakbet recipe is comprised of different vegetables such as eggplant (talong), squash (kalabasa), string beans (sitaw), ampalaya (bitter melon), okra, and others. Image.4567.jpg How to cook it? I assure you this can help. First, Heat the pan and put the cooking oil.

  1. When oil is hot enough, saute the garlic, ginger, onion, and tomato
  2. Add the pork and cook until color turns light brown (about 5 to 8 minutes)
  3. Put-in the shrimp paste and cook for 2 minutes.
  4. Add water and bring to a boil. Simmer for 10 to 15 minutes or until pork is tender
  5. Put-in the squash and cook for 5 to 7 minutes or until texture becomes soft
  6. Add the remaining vegetables and mix with the other ingredients.Simmer for 5 minutes or until all the vegetables are cooked. (Do not overcook the vegetables) and lastly, serve hot with steamed white rice. Enjoy!
