Dinengdeng

Dinengdeng or Inabraw is one famous Ilocano dish. This dish has lots of variations so there is really no rule as long as you use the main condiment which is the fermented fish sauce and the number one secret is to include any grilled fish that you like. But if you grew up and used to eating this, there are main vegetables that really belongs to this specific dish. Mainly they are moringga leaves(malunggay), bittermelon(ampalaya), eggplant, squash flower, winged beans(sigarilyas), okra, jute leaves(saluyot) and many more. These days you can just add fried fish instead if you don’t have a grill, or even shrimp would be fine.
