Upo Guisado Recipe

Jump to Recipe Print Recipe

This Upo guisado came about when I was looking for something to cook after feeling hungry. While I was searching for something to eat, I realized that were no leftovers of any sort. So, I tried to look around for something that I can cook, when suddenly my eyes caught a small bottle gourd (upo) sitting in the vegetable drawer of the refrigerator. I knew during that moment that I would be having ginisang upo.

I think that the reason behind my choice was the fact that upo guisado is quick to prepare. I also remember having extra pre-sliced pork belly thawing inside the refrigerator. Aside from these reasons, I was craving for upo since the day before yesterday. Now was my chance to satisfy my craving.

I had this with one and a half-cups of rice—or maybe two. I was so excited to eat that I lost count and just focused on the food. I was a wonderful meal.
