Healthy filipino food 💪

Soak bitter melon with salted water. It will take away some bitterness.

I know some ilocanos cook it without adding any water. Something about the gentle heating of claypots allow you to extract the vegetable juices that turns into a flavorful broth.

My family is from Ilocos Norte, so dinengdeng is an every day dish, you just switch up the veges depending the day and the season 🤷🏾‍♀️
When making pinakbet my mum taught me to stack a pan with the hardiest veges at the bottom and the easiest to cook at the top so they all cook at once but have a variety of bite, or 'doneness' ❤

The Filipino dishes are its own Iceberg Charts, and those at the bottom-most are some of the most primitive, simple, and healthiest things you will find in the country (each region having their own delicacy, twists on Filipino dishes, or their specialty main dish sometimes).

One instance of this is Saluyot complemented with Patis (fish sauce) or Bagoong (fish paste) common in Central Luzon. Another example of this is Talbos ng Kamote (Sweet Potato Leaves) steamed alongside Pritong (Fried) Tilapia topped with either Bagoong or Soy Sauce; Ripe Mangoes, Tomatoes, and Raw Onions if you're feeling fancy. There are more obscure healthy Filipino dishes, some I'm not even aware or familiar with.

Filipino vegetable dishes:

1. Law-oy, laswa, dinengdeng, bulanglang- (a vegetable soup) with different names in each region. Common veggies on it are
Leaves- saluyot, malunggay, alugbati or even bitter melon leaves.
Other are squash, okra, eggplant, upo, young papaya, sitaw, you can add ampalaya and tanglad(lemon grass) as well. It's really delicious partnered with fried fish. My most comfort Filipino dish.

2. Ginataang gulay- it's like pakbet but only with coconut milk on it and without bagoong.

3. Any Ginisang gulay
- baguio beans
-adobong sitaw
- sayote
-papaya
-upo
-kalabasa
- apan-apan (any leaves)
- beans ( monggo, tabyos, white beans, green peas).
Also these can be cook in coconut milk version as well.

I can't remember the rest but these are the common one...

Some fruits in Philippines were also cooked as vegetables.

Common way of cooking are sarsa(sausy), ginataan(coconut milk in) sinabawan( soup), and ensalada or grilled. These are also apply to the meats. Filipino also loves pickles or fermented like atsara.

I just cooked it for dinner . I really miss that pinakbet🥰❤

[RB-ohjn]

Wow good job cooking this pinakbet tagalog version👍🏻

[krizelorden]

It's the tagalog version of pinakbet, ginisang gulay. I like more Ilocano version.

[janinpalafox]

What my Ilocano dad used to do is in a pan, he adds every ingredients of pinakbet, add salt and closes with a lid and let it cook over medium low fire. No need to add oil, as the meat will render it's own fat and the salt will act to release the moisture of the veggies that steams it in the end, it cooks by itself and no need to stir all the time. Just check and stir once in a while. It always comes out great. You may add bagoong or patis if you don't like to add more salt.

I dont eat bitter melon before or veggies really(i only eat a few like cabbage and kangkong) but when i got pregnant 10yrs ago, i started eating veggies and ginisang ampalaya and pinakbet has been one of my fave veggie dishes!

[bilditmuzzi]

Bitter melon is called AMPALAYA in the Philippines. This is one version of pinakbet. There are several versions but all are delicious. Thank you for showing other Filipino dish as we have so many. I wonder if you could show relyenong bangus? Ginisang vegetables? 🎉🎉🎉❤❤❤😊

A classic. My lola's pinakbet is a bomb and definitely a soul food. Still the best pinakbet I've ever tasted.

[ryon]

[HisWord_Joshua_]

I can eat bittermelon, but I can never eat okra. I always give them to my parents or to anyone I am eating with. 😅 But yeah pinakbet is very common vegetable dish in the PH.
