Dinengdeng with Sardines

Dinengdeng with Sardines or inabraw is a Filipino vegetable dish that originated from the Ilocos region in the Philippines. It is composed of different vegetables that are usually grown in one’s backyard. This dish has a similarity with bulanglang and laswa; the obvious difference of Dinengdeng is the use of sardines. Another notable difference is the addition of “bagoong isda”. Aside from being healthy, this dish is also easy to prepare. You should be ok as long as you know how to boil vegetables. What variety of fish can you use? Any variety of fish can be used. On the side note, even though the sardines is cooked, I recommend cooking it for a few minutes with the vegetables in order to add more flavor to the dish. Have you tried having this dish lately?
