After indulging with sweets meat during the holidays, I felt like taking a time-out for a few days. I only had veggies and seafood by far. The mung bean sprouts with shrimp that I had for dinner last night was light and delicious, while this steamed eggplant and okra with bagoong is simple and just about right for my tired taste buds.

Steamed Eggplant and Okra with Bagoong

I like how simple this dish was. It did not need anything except for a cup of rice. It helped my taste buds reboot. I guess that having just veggies (with some fish and seafood) is the way to go. However, I will be surprised if this keeps up for a week. Once my inner carnivore and sweet tooth screams from the inside, expect more delectable meaty dishes and sweet desserts to come.

This only took more or less 15 minutes.ย  I bought ready to eat bagoong from the Filipino store (this was the bottled variety), which saved me some time. If I will be making one from scratch, it can take another 12 to 15 minutes. This recipe will give you an idea in case you are thinking of how to cook bagoong.

Do you also enjoy having steamed or boiled okra and talong? If so, what do you eat this with other than bagoong alamang?

    I tried your bistek Tagalog. The beef is melts-in-your-mouth tender! My husband loves it and his co-workers. I made a few variations though. I reduced the watery sauce in a saucepan and glazed it over the cooked bistek. Also, I added a tbsp of sugar to balance the sourness of the lemon in the sauce. Thank you Vanjo for sharing the recipe! Great work!

      Thanks Jes for the wonderful feedback on the bistek tagalog recipe. I encourage everyone to adjust the recipe based on their personal preference and I’m glad that you did that.

      Great job and keep on cooking!
