Tabungaw (Upo) nga Buridibud
Upo, Tabungaw nga Buridibud. Buridibud is a variation of dinengdeng. Diced kamote or sweet potato is the dividing factor between dinengdeng and buridibud. Dinengdeng is usually cooked with a medley of native vegetables boiled with bagoong na isda, at times kamote cubes/wedges is also added to add a bit of sweetness to the dish.

Buridibud on the other hand is usually cooked with a choice of vegetable like upo, malungay fruit and other leafy vegetables or any other similar type of vegetables or in combination and of course diced kamote. The kamote should be cooked until it start to disintegrate and this will add a texture on the broth of the dish. Dinengdeng and buridibud are cooked without the usual aromatics.

  1. Wow, this is the sort of names of vegetable dishes I've been hunting. Sadly, in Pangasinan we only have pakbet, and almost all others go unlabeled.

    We cook tabungaw sauteed with agamang (shrimp bagoong/alamang), I've never tried it with bagoong. It's a good variation to try.

  3. Hey ut-man, my wife is from Suyo, Ilocos Sur and I've been initiated to a variety of Ilocano foods including buridibud with malunggay fruits. If she cooks tabungaw, it's got to be batsu or plain dinendeng. I love those dishes!
