HOW TO COOK GINISANG AMPALAYA WITH EGG -Ampalaya or bitter gourd is a very abundant vegetable in the Philippines. There are many dishes cooked with ampalaya and most of those dishes are sauteed. Pinakbet is one example of dish with ampalaya which is very popular in the country most especially in the Ilocos region in the Northern part of the country. Ginisang ampalaya also has many variations like sauteed with pork, or chicken -these dishes are very common but what we are going to cook this time is sauteed bitter gourd with egg or ginisang ampalaya with itlog.
