Nieves’ Binagoongang Baboy (Pork in Shrimp Paste)

Nieves’ Binagoongang Baboy (Pork in Shrimp Paste) serves 4

Binagoongang Baboy or Pork in Shrimp Paste is a Filipino Pork dish that is perfect to eat with lots and lots of white rice. The name of this dish literally means pork in shrimp paste or pork cooked with shrimp paste. “Bagoong” is a Filipino (Tagalog) term for Shrimp paste, while pork is called “baboy”.

I usually have this for lunch and I also make many versions of this dish — some versions us hot chili peppers, “for Abi”… and there are the sweet and salty version. This binagoongang baboy recipe (also called pork binagoongan) is a simple non-spicy version. I added fried eggplants to help balance the flavor — this means that it can prevent us from eating too much rice.

I am using cooked shrimp paste for this recipe. You can use the ready-to-eat-shrimp paste that comes in bottles. Barrio Fiesta and Kamayan are good brands. Binagoongan Baboy - Kawaling Pinoy
