Dinengdeng Recipe | How to cook Buto ng Sitaw

 

Dinengdeng or also called Inabraw is a very popular dish in Northern Philippines or the Ilocos Region. This is a vegetable dish with bagoong soup and with different kinds of fresh vegetables. 

Dinengdeng is a dish wherein you can cook your favorite vegetables as long as you follow the procedure for cooking this dish. For this recipe, I mainly used buto ng sitaw or beans seed mixed with other vegetables that I like to eat. Take out some if you do not like it.
