Northern Philippine Cuisine

(Pinakbet or Pakbet)

Pinakbet or Pakbet is an Ilocano stewed vegetable dish. The usual vegetables included in
the dish are eggplant, bitter gourd (ampalaya), okra and tomatoes. The dish is seasoned with
bagoong isda or fermented fish paste.

The Ilocanos cook Pinakbet simply by layering the vegetable in a pot with a little amount
of water and fish sauce in it.

They set the pot on a low fire and let the food simmer without stirring or mixing until the
vegetables are cooked.

These days, many people come out with different versions.

Here is one way of cooking it.
