Let's Cook : Pinakbet

Here's my take on the classic Ilocano dish, Pinakbet. My version is a heavier on the meat side since i got lots of pork and i was hungry :-)

@siwawervintar I agree; this is not the traditional way. It's better if you saute the pork with onions, garlic and tomatoes, until the tomatoes are completely wilted. Then add your vegetables at the same time. Then add the bagong isda, tasting frequently to keep from making the dish too salty

I think, this is not the traditional way of cooking pinakbet...

I'm from Fremont. I guess you moved out to Texas way back. Would love to try your recipe but it's much easier just to buy it now. Starting in the early 80's, Filipino restaurants started opening up all over the Bay Area. You can now buy any dish, with whatever regional flavor you like. Ignore the folks pretending to be from the states - especially if they type words like they are using a cell phone without a qwerty keyboard...lol...try Patio Filipino in San Bruno (where Youtube HQ is)

I'm getting really hungry.. Pinakbet surely came from Ilocanos but what you just cooked was the Tagalog style. Ilocanos use the dark brown fish bagoong instead of the shrimp variant.

@badwino lol trip niya eh. I believe hindi siya lumaki sa Pilipinas kaya hindi siya nagsasalita ng taga ilog. Tignan mo comment mo purely English. Kayong mga laking squatter dapat maging maayos kayo sa pamumuhay lagi kayong mainit eh. Chillax lang
