[ziggythecat]

Hey everyone, I'd love to share a dish that I recently stumbled upon while scrolling through TikTok, and I thought it'd be perfect to share it with you all here!

So, I tried making this delicious sautéed vegetable dish with shrimp paste last night, and it was a hit! Here's how I did it:
Ingredients (for 2 servings):

• 2 cups mixed vegetables (such as bell peppers, green beans, carrots, and cabbage), chopped
• 1 tablespoon cooking oil
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 small onion, sliced
• 2 tablespoons shrimp paste (bagoong)
• Salt and pepper, to taste

Instructions:

• Start by heating the cooking oil in a pan over medium heat.
• Add the minced garlic and sliced onion, and sauté until fragrant and golden brown.
• Toss in the mixed vegetables and continue cooking until they are tender-crisp.
• Stir in the shrimp paste, ensuring it coats the vegetables evenly. Cook for another 2-3 minutes.
• Season with salt and pepper to taste, and give it a final stir.
• Serve your sautéed vegetables with shrimp paste hot, alongside steamed rice or your favorite main dish.

Enjoy this flavorful and nutritious dish straight from your own kitchen! Pinakbet is best paired with steamed rice. Additionally, it can be served alongside grilled or fried fish, providing a well-balanced and satisfying meal. Hope you give it a try and enjoy it as much as I did!

I still remember the Pinakbet s version of my Filipino collegue used to make! It's almost the same I think, the combination of vegetables and shrimp paste creates such a unique and flavorful dish. Thanks for sharing, I can't wait to try making it myself
