    I’m confused. Your picture of the dish has soup, but yet the recipe doesn’t call for water to be added. So we added water for soup. Pls clarify.

      What you saw was the liquid from the bottle gourd that got extracted. It is no big deal to add water too. You may add up to 1 cup water if you want it to have some sauce. However, you should adjust the seasoning afterwards.

    Mmmm. I’ve only recently discovered or affirmed my love for anything ginisa because it appeals to my weird attraction to thunderstorms and cyclones. I loved sipping coffee beside the glass wall of the condo I used to rent in the middle of a thunderstorm. I don’t get to do that lately anymore. Ginisa for me is like that. There are stirring, combining stuff. It’s a beautiful chaos. And it’s a good excuse to get lots of onions, garlic and tomatoes in my mouth.
