Deningdeng


Denengdeng (also called Inabraw) is a dish of Ilocano people of the Philippines. Its main ingredients are vegetables. It is easy to make. It is similar to Pinakbet. It is classified as a bagoong soup based dish. Unlike pinakbet, denengdeng contains fewer vegetables and contains more bagoong base.


You will need the following:
  •  1 piece fried or inihaw na tilapia
  • 4 cups water
  • 1 tablespoon fish bagoong, malabnaw
  • 1 piece pork broth cube (or msg and salt to taste or other seasonings)
  • 1 cup sitaw, cut into 3-inch lengths
  • 2 pieces small eggplants1 cup bulaklak ng kalabasa or squash blossoms)
  • 1-2 bundles saluyot (green leaves 2 cups)
Cooking Directions:
      Add fish to boiling water. Simmer for 5 minutes. Stir in fish bagoong and pork broth cube
(or other flavorings/ seasonings). Simmer for 5 more minutes. Remove fish and set aside. Add veggies (sitaw and talong).Cook until tender. Add bulaklak ng kalabasa and saluyot. Cook for 
another 2 minutes. Add the fish and remove the saucepan from heat. Serve.


Another  version in Taglish  with tips of recipe:
 Yes, so easy to cook dinengdeng puro gulay lang kasi. Magpakulo ka lang ng konting tubig, about 1 cup of water, tapos lagyan ng 4-5 tablespoons bagoong. Dapat mas maalat ng konti to enhance the taste of the veggies. Let it boil, saka ilagay ang sitaw, okra, kalabasa, young leaves of sitaw, kamatis and sibuyas. Para tayong kumakanta ng bahay kubo, di ba? Tapos lahukan ng hipon o inihaw na bangus. Walang vetsin, pero pwede lagyan ng half teaspoon brown to enhance taste. Tandaan saglit lang lulutin ito. Mas masarap kung bagong luto. Don’t cover, ihain agad.
 
Other tips:
1. May timing ang mga veggies. usually, isang kulo lang para sa mga dahon-dahon; pinakamatagal lutuin ang seeds o ung may seeds like talong, sunod ang sitaw, okra; tapos kalabasa, patola at sa huli mga dahon-dahon
Maraming combination, pero iwasan magsama ang ampalaya at patola sa isang pagluluto.
2. Konting sabaw lang, di masarap ung tipong nasa swimming pool at lumalangoy ang mga gulay. hehehe
3. Ito ang pinakatatandaan na tips (secret ko ito) : hwag dadamihan ang lulutuin, kailangan medyo bitin para sa susunod.. lagi nilang pananabikan ang iyong dinengdeng. hehehe
