Ginisang Ampalaya with Daing na Alamang

Ginisang Ampalaya with Daing na Alamang
Ginisang Ampalaya with Daing na Alamang. The most common and simplest Pinoy cooking method of ampalaya is ginisa. I have a couple of sautéed ampalaya recipe in the archives, Ginisang Ampalaya with Egg and Ginisamg Ampalaya with pork and egg that you may want to try also. For today’s recipe I used dried small shrimp in addition to the usual egg with ampalaya. On a visit to the Thai store nearby I found this bag of dried small shrimp, The Thais also loves dried shrimps they used it a lot in their cooking. Luckily they also have ampalaya, it is the Thailand variety, they are bigger and lighter green color compared to the ampalaya we used in our pinakbet. The dried shrimp has to be soaked with water for about 10 to 15 minutes to rehydrate. It has to be washed and rinsed thoroughly to remove sand and dirt that may have contaminated the dried shrimp during drying. Cooking is basically the same with my other ginisang ampalaya dish, the rehydrated shrimp is first sautéed with the aromatic ingredients before the ampalaya and eggs are added. Here is the recipe of my Ginisang Ampalaya with Daing na Alamang.

Ingredients:

1 small to medium size Thai ampalaya.
1 cup dried small shrimp
2-3 cloves garlic, chopped
1 small size onion, chopped
