i miss this dish :(

namiss ko na yung luto ng lola ko.. tagal ko na kasi di nakakauwi sa pangasinan :) pero magluluto nalang ako neto in the mean time :D hehe .. sobrang love ko ang mga gantong dish ..

#44 - danielle jean - 07/31/2012 - 02:34

simple lang ang dinengdeng ko, magpakulo ng tubig at ilagay ang bagoong isda na gawa sa pangasinan or ilocos. ilagay ang inihaw na isda para lumasa at isunod na ilagay ang gulay. hindi na kailangan ang maraming rekado para maging masarap ang lasa... ang pinaka importante ay yung bagoong at sariwang gulay.

about dinengdeng

ang paborito kung ulam.

#18 - mae_ortiza@yahoo.com - 05/31/2011 - 05:12

I grew up eating dinengdeng, especially if both parents are Ilocanos!!! What I love about the dinendeng is the carabasa...what is substituted out here in the states (for you americanized Filipinos) is Kabocha squash or Japanese squash/pumpkin. Hope this helps for those American Filipinos living out here...carabasa is an equivalence to a kabocha squash here in america:)

#17 - GQue - 04/24/2011 - 22:50

Dinengdeng is the easiest, authentic filipino dish. Anyone can cook it without cooking book/instruction. You can use/combine all the following vegetables: patani, sweet potato,patola,segarelyas, sweet potato tops, pumpkin tops and flowers, also flowers of ampalaya, malunggay leaves, flowers or fruit?,saluyot, sitaw and its young leaves. If in season, young mung beans fruit? Other important ingredients: bagoong dilis and inihaw na bangus or tilapia. Boil water using a deep sauce pan. Put the bagoong in big cup or pyrex jug and put some hot water over the bagoong,leave it for two minutes then stir and carefully pour it back in the pan. Skim and add the fish, leave to boil for maybe two minutes then add first vegetables that takes longer to cook. maybe after a minute or two, the rest of of the vegetables. Add patis (if desired) adjust according to your taste. Serve hot with also hot plain rice. Then kamayan na. Followed by mangang hinog as dessert. Umm..... masarap, malinamnam!

#16 - Shiony - 03/17/2011 - 17:07

#10 - ronald - 12/08/2010 - 08:16

Diningding ni Nanay

Magpakulo muna ng tubig sa kaserola then put the bagoong... Pag kumulo ulit ilagay yung inihaw na hito para mapunta sa sabaw yung talagang isdang lasa. Then add sitaw, ampalaya, okra, talong and kalabasa.
Last to put the talbus ng kalabasa or bulaklak...Put MSG to enhance the taste!

#9 - Sunshine Manuel - 11/03/2010 - 04:32

mrs.

I'm an Ilongga residing in the U.S. I like dinengdeng a lot and learned to cook it. It's a great success even the first time i tried.

#8 - Joy - 11/01/2010 - 01:19

dinengdng version

sa bawat sulok ng ilocos region ay may kanya-kanyang version ,kung paano magluto ng dinengdeng basta ang importante ay nandun ang unang ingredients nito ang BAGOONG NA ISDA at ang INIHAW NA ISDA O PRITO......d best sa aking ang talbos ng kalabasa,bulaklak ng kalabasa,malunggay leaves at kunting talbos ng ampalaya..........

#7 - roel pascual - 10/22/2010 - 17:25

learningtocook

Hi,I'm here in the US and I can't find sweet potatoes like the one we have there in the Philippines to mix in my dinengdeng.Can I use like the regular potatoes here in the US such as the Idaho potatoes?Yung gingamit nila for mashed potato?

#6 - jane - 08/18/2010 - 12:35

Dinengdeng other ver.

For me it is always best to always add sweet potatoes(kamote) on my dinengdeng with malunggay, tomatoes kabatiti, saluyot, pumpkin flowers, eggplant, malunggay fruits, sitaw, or any dinengdeng vegetables ingredients u want for your recipe. I boil the water from the casserole then put garlic and tomatoes. I do not use ginger on my dinengdeng. I first put to boil the sweet potatoes and the malunggay fruits, when it's nearly cooked i put the other vegetables, after 2-3 min. Get 1 medium-sized sweet potatoe and mash it first in a bowl then distribute it in the casserole by stirring. If u don't want the smell or taste of bagoong, u can just add small amount of it and use the fish sauce(patis) instead and salt. Adjust it to your taste. (you can add small amount of MSG if u want). When it is about to be cooked, put shreded/cut/whole fried fish that fits the casserole. I always want the sweet taste of mash kamote on it's soup.

#5 - JP - 07/27/2010 - 13:02

dinengdeng genuine

mas masarap if you will boil grilled bangus or tilapia and 3 pcs tomatoes in a casserole. use hugas bigas as broth with bagoong na isda.(sinala din). then put vegetables (patola cut in large strips, eggplant cut the same as in patola, sitaw na turo, sitaw tops, malunggay leaves, kangkong native, spinach leaves and top with kalabasa flower) season with msg to taste.

#4 - jenny - 03/19/2010 - 16:20
