Ginisang Bagoong Recipe

You only need to cook this ginisang bagoong recipe once to have a good stock of delicious bagoong in your fridge. It’s a sweet-salty bagoong that will go great with your favorite veggies and hilaw na mangga or green mangoes. Make it even more delicious with a spritz of zesty calamansi juice and stirring in some red chillies for some heat.

This is a recipe you can cook in big batches, especially because you can store bagoong for a long time! Aside from using it as a dip for green mangoes, you can also add bagoong to your favorite ulam dishes.

You can buy fermented, uncooked alamang at your local wet market. Always ask for the colorless kind.
