Pinakbet Ilocano

Описание: Pinakbet ilocano

Pinakbet ilocano is a Filipino vegetable dish composed of a variety of vegetables and usually topped with prawns or bagnet(crispy pork). For this recipe, i used frozen chopped okra since it is the only okra available in the shop nearby. I also used green beans instead of sitaw. I was not able to buy ampalaya, but this recipe would also be great with ampalaya in it.
