Ingredients

Servings
  • 2 to 3 pieces fish cleaned, medium sized
  • 10 pieces okra
  • 1 ½ cup squash blossom
  • 3 pieces bitter gourd ampalaya, cored and sliced

Notes

  • Dinengdeng and bulanglang are both tasty Filipino dishes but have some key differences. Dinengdeng is a vegetable stew often cooked with a flavorful broth and usually served with fried or grilled fish, while bulanglang can be similar in terms of the inclusion of a variety of vegetables. However, some versions of bulanglang version include protein, but the one that I am accustomed to (Ther Batangas version) only makes use of vegetables (no fish nor any kind of protein).
  • In other words, both dishes are hearty and perfect with rice, but dinengdeng has a more pronounced savory taste due to ingredients like bagoong (fermented shrimp paste), while bulanglang tends to have a milder, simpler flavor.
