HOW TO COOK PINAKBET (ILOCANO STYLE)

How To Cook Pinakbet (Ilocano Style) –Here is another version of Pinakbet. In the Philippines, there are two main versions of this dish, the Ilocano and Tagalog versions. In September this year, I have shared with you my Tagalog style Pinakbet and now I am going to share with you the Ilocano version. This dish is easier than the other version because you don’t need to saute the garlic and onions here unlike the other one but instead of we are going to put the whole sweet onions and we don’t need oil to cook this one. There are many kinds of vegetables we can use in cooking this dish but we are going to use the most common vegetables used in cooking Pinakbet. You can use any vegetable that you think would be good to combine with the vegetbales we are going to use in this recipe but make sure it will not ruin the taste of our dish and make sure you won’t use too much Alubaybay fish sauce because fish sauce is salty.
