Buridibud

Buridibud – this may sound weird but I can pretty tell that this is probably one of my favorite vegetable soup dish of all time. This is an Ilocano delicacy, so if you love eating vegetables plus enjoy the saltiness of bagoong, then this would surely tickle your taste buds! Best eaten when served with fried fish or adobo.

What you need

5 cups of water

1 sweet potato

2 to 3 table spoons of bagoong

Bunga ng malunggay – I know this is a hard to find vegetable in the market and quite pricey as compared to other vegetables – but you can replace this with malunggay leaves.

1 small onion, diced

1 tomato, diced

What you need to do:

Pour the water on the cooking pot. Add the sweet potato. Once soft, start to mash it. This will make the soup thicker.

Add the onion and tomato. Then pour the bagoong. You may add more bagoong if you want it to be saltier.

Put the bunga ng malunggay. Let it cook for 20 mins.

Serve with love and happy eating!
