DJXTrodinaire never heard
samyeunggai haven’t tried it myself but sounds like a great vegetarian dish. are there very many filipino vegetarians?
donnamariaruth Love the “talbos ng ampalaya” and “tinapang galungong” version
macaronigirl bulanglang is a healthy dish and can be quite tasty if prepared right! 🙂
Bulanglang is a vegetable stew. It’s different from pinakbet in that it is more watery and includes dark leafy vegetables. Many Filipinos will also contrast the two in terms of the type of bagoong used as flavoring — pinakbet has bagoong alamang (shrimp paste) as an ingredient, while bulanglang has bagoong isda (fish paste).
Some say pinakbet requires the sautéing step for the vegetables, while bulanglang is more like simply boiling the vegetables. And that bulaklak ng kalabasa (squash flowers), small ampalaya (bitter gourds), and fried fish are essential for bulanlang. Opinions vary!
