Binagoongang Baboy Recipe (Pork in Shrimp Paste)

Binagoongang Baboy or Pork in Shrim Paste is a Filipino Pork dish that is perfect to eat with lots and lots of white rice. the name of this dish literally means pork in shrimp paste or pork cooked with shrimp paste. “Bagoong” is a Filipino (Tagalog) term for Shrimp paste, while pork is called “baboy”.

I consider pork in shrimp paste as an everyday dish. I usually have this for dinner and I also make many versions of this dish — some versions us hot chili peppers, and there are the sweet and salty version. This binagoongang baboy recipe (also called pork binagoongan) is a simple non-spicy version. I added fried eggplants to help balance the flavor — this means that it can prevent us form eating too much rice.

I am using cooked shrimp paste for this recipe. You can use the ready-to-eat-shrimp paste that comes in bottles. Barrio Fiesta and Kamayan are good brands. If you want to cook your own bagoong, check out this how to cook shrimp paste post.
