In reply to X. Magsearch rin po kayo. Hindi lang po Ilocano ang may pinakbet. Mayroon rin Tagalog version which is eto. Thank you!

I search nyo muna kung ano ang ibig sabihin ng pinakbet bago nyo tawagin pinakbet ang ganyang recipe. Sa aming mga Ilocano hindi yan pinakbet ( pinakeb-bet )

First time making Pinkabet and it was delicious. I added a bit more shrimp paste and tasted just like how my Tita used to make it.

With the return of my daughter to home for cancer treatment at UCLA, she craved the comfort foods of home-cooked Pilipino meals. I usually cook pinakbet in my mom’s Pangasinan way, but I tried yours for a change because I had pork belly on hand. So glad I did. Thank you for an excellent, easy to follow recipe. BTW, I added 4 more garlic cloves, and served Bagoong Alamang on the side. Your use of the pork belly elevated the dish. Your cooking times helped me not overcook the vegetables in pinakbet … for the first time in my life! My family loved it. 😍 Thank you for sharing your recipe and tips with such a generous spirit. I look forward to checking out more of your recipes,

I've never cooked Pinakbet before. In fact, I've never cooked at all. I'm proud that your Pinakbet has been my first dish ever. Yummy. Shrimpy. Chewy. With all the goodness bursting between chomps. Thank you very much.

Thank you for the recipe, Lalaine! I'm a Filipino in Australia, I usually cook the pinakbet a different way, but I just tried yours. It was a success and very yummy. The vegetables cooked just right. This will be my go to pinakbet recipe from now. Thanks again. 🙂

In reply to Keith Jemison. Do you mean bagoong or fish sauce?

I could not find Shrimp Paste ( Bagoong )
But was able to find Shrimp Sauce, can I use it instead? Please advise, this is my first attempt at making this recipe.

Hi Lalaine, For at least 3 yrs. now , I've been going to your site and using your recipes and instructions without leaving any comments and/or "Thank you Notes" lol.. But now, I just can't thank you enough of blogging our Filipino dishes and ideas. My Dad was a retired U.S. Navy professional "CHEF" and served Admiral's and even President (I won't mention names lolz , diplomats, and their staff). Unfortunately, he passed away, without teaching me/us, how to cook Asian/Filipino recipes:(. In short, now that I also just retired from the U.S. Navy...(MACS(SW), U.S.N (Ret.), I have to learn to cook my favorite Pinoy foods. Thank you Lalaine for the Filipino recipes and the unique ways, instructions and precise ingredients that I have followed from this site. You're much appreciated and may you stay healthy, successful, safe and God Bless you and your Family. "Maraming Salamat po(Y). Sincerely, B.P.
