MEATLESS PINAKBET TAGALOG │ How to Cook Meatless Pinakbet Tagalog

Sharing my Espesyal Pinakbet Tagalog, Meatless with Shrimps and Dried Fish.

Cooked with fresh Bagoong Alamang.

Topped with fresh shrimps, dried alumahan, and dried dulong.

Yes I used fresh Bagoong Alamang, if it is not available or if looking for convenience, bottled cooked bagoong alamang may be used.

Take note that  cooked bottled alamang, the shrimps are most like disintegrated, and salty, have to use less quantity. Most are sweetened not unless you prefer some sweetness, look for unsweetened  bottle.

The type and quantity of vegetable ingredients depend on availability and preference, there is no hard rule.

Some prefer their vegetables half-cooked for crunchiness, others just-cooked or properly cooked, for the vegetable to render juices. 

The best Pinakbet Tagalog should be cooked just right, not under-cooked or over-cooked.
