Cooking Blog: Pinakbet For Our Lunch

Hello, how are you? It has been a while since I posted a cooking blog, and to be honest, I didn’t cook that much last month, so nothing to write about LOL. I only have time on weekends, and weekends mean my parents are home, so that means I am going to cook home-cooked food.

So when my brother and I were the only ones left at home, I rarely cooked meals, just fast-cooked food like eggs LOL. Sometimes when I stop cooking, I tend to forget how to cook a food right, but muscle memory is strong, so yeah, I am going to cook Pinakbet, my version, and that means Ilo

---

Ingredients I Used:

---

Let's Cook!

In a hot pan, I added about two tablespoons of cooking oil.

---

Then I added the meat and cooked it until the texture turned crispy.

---

When the meat is crispy, I add the aromatics like garlic, red onion, and ginger.

---

After sauteeing aromatics, I added tomatoes and cook it until they turned mushy.

---

Then I added two tablespoons of Bagoong. If you don't have bagoong, you can use fish sauce and let the bagoong seep into the tomatoes.

---

Then I added two cups of water.

---

When it starts boiling, I am going to add one chicken broth cube.

---

Time to add the veggies, first, I am going to add the okras.

---

Then the Thai eggplants.

---

Then green chilis.

---

Then the alakun.

---

For the last small bittergourd, make sure to put it on top of all the veggies, then cook for about 5-7 minutes at high heat with the lid on.

---

Serve hot and plated.

---

Happy eating! :D
