Dinengdeng Buridibod nga Marunggay, Bungon ken Katuday

Dinengdeng Buridibod nga Marunggay, Bungon/Alukon ken Katuday. Buridibod is the term we, Ilocanos, use when a dinengdeng or inabraw (Ilocano, soupy dish with mix of different kinds of vegetables plus fried or grilled fish, flavored with bagoong or fish sauce) uses kamote (sweet potato) as the main ingredient.

In this recipe, I combined young malunggay fruit, sweet potato, bungon/alukon, katuday and grilled bangus. For a native Ilocano like me, this buridibod is simply the best! Nagimas unay ti dinengdeng apo! Manganen!
