Aubergine in Sauteed Shrimp paste


This is a very simple but delicious Filipino side dish mostly paired with fried fish. Shrimp paste or Bagoong is a common dip or sauce in the Philippines with a myriad of versions (using shrimp, fish or even shellfsh) from different provinces.

WHAT YOU’LL NEED:

3 tbsps. olive oil

1 onion, sliced

1 aubergine (eggplant), cubed

2 cloves garlic, crushed

shrimp paste or Bagoong

freshly ground black pepper

LET’S COOK:

Heat the olive oil in a preheated wok. Add the garlic and shrimp/fish paste to the wok and stir for 3 minutes. Add the onion and aubergine to the wok and stir fry for 5 minutes, or until the aubergine is a bit tender. Season with freshly ground black pepper.

*Variation:

If you want to serve this as a vegetarian main meal, add cubed tofu (bean curd) to the wok.

*Serves 4

Bon Appetit and Cheers! =]
