No Pork? Try these Philippine Veggies | Alugbati (Malabar Spinach) & Sigarilyas

If you are like me, who's still a bit praning (paranoid), with buying pork because of the swine flu, here's a recipe for you. All you need is dried shiitake or malabar spinach also known as alugbati. Yesss!! This veggie has a lot more use! We used to just add it on Monggo (mung beans) but it turns out it has this earthy flavor that will somehow satisfy your craving for pork. It has a deeper taste than the regular spinach which is perfect for Filipino cuisines who leans more on heavy flavors. Good thing it grows on hot humid country like ours. So what are waiting for, go plant some alugbati in your backyard! and get to cooking. Ingredients: Alugbati (Malabar Spinach) Kalabasa (Philippine pumpkin) Sigarilyas (Four winged bean) Dried Shiitake mushroom Bagoong Alamang (Shrimp Paste) Garlic Ginger Onion Sea Salt Pepper Olive oil Fish Sauce Oyster Sauce Slurry Procedure: 1.
