Filipino Recipe Sauteed Shrimp Paste (Ginisang Bagoong Alamang)

Ingredients:

1 cup cooking oil
3 tbsp crushed garlic
1 cup chopped onions
2 long red chili peppers
1/2 cup #3 brown sugar or muscovado
1/2 cup banana catsup
1 kilo bagoong alamang

How to cook:

1. Saute garlic and onions in hot oil until limp. Add peppers, sugar, and catsup; stir until oil separates. Pour in bagoong and cook over low heat, stirring frequently to avoid scorching.

2. Simmer until reduced by 1/3 and bagoong changes color. Taste and add more sliced chili if needed.

Note: The catsup adds a hint of color to the drab bagoong, while improving its texture with the banana fruit’s natural viscosity. The tamis-anghang character of banana catsup balances the saltiness of preserved baby shrimp.

Bagoong monamon, bagoong monamon-dilis, or simply bagoong and bugguong munamon in Ilocano, is a common ingredient used in the Philippines and particularly in Northern Ilocano cuisine. It is made by fermenting salted anchovies which is not designed, nor customarily used for immediate consumption since it is completely raw. Therefore it is used as a cooking ingredient, upon when it is cooked alone, it can be used as an accompaniment to traditional food dishes. To most Westerners unfamiliar with this condiment, the smell can be extremely repulsive. Bagoong is however, an essential ingredient in many curries and sauces.

This bagoong is smoother than bagoong terong, however, they are similar in flavor. The odor is unique and smells strongly of fish. Fish sauce, common throughout Southeast Asian cuisine, is a by-product of the bagoong process. Known as patis, it is distinguished as the clear refined layer floating on the thicker bagoong, itself. Patis and bagoong can be interchanged in recipes, depending on personal taste and preference.

Bagoong is used as a flavor enhancing agent, in the place of salt, soy sauce, or monosodium glutamate. It is used fish stocks that are the base to many Ilocano dishes, like pinakbet, or as a dressing to greens as a dish called kinilnat or ensalada. Bagoong is also used as a condiment, in many cases, a dipping sauce for chicharon, green and ripe mangoes, or hard boiled eggs.

It is similar in taste and smell to that of anchovy paste.

In other areas of the Philippines, this type of bagoong can be named for the locale they came fro, eg; bagoong balayan (which is produced in the coastal town of Balayan in the Province of Batangas).

Wikipedia:

Bagoong alamang is a  Filipino shrimp paste, made from minute shrimp or krill (alamang) and is commonly eaten as a topping on green mangoes or used as a major cooking ingredient. Bagoong paste varies in appearance, flavor, and spiciness depending on the type. Pink and salty bagoong alamang is marketed as “fresh”, and is essentially the shrimp-salt mixture left to marinate a few days. This bagoong is rarely used in this form, save as a topping for unripe mangoes. The paste can be sauteed with various condiments, and its flavour can range from salty to spicy-sweet. The colour of the sauce will also vary with the cooking time and the ingredients used in the sauteeing. Cincalok is the Malaysian version of ‘fresh’ bagoong alamang.

Unlike in other parts of Southeast Asia, where the shrimp are fermented beyond recognition or ground to a smooth consistency, the shrimp in bagoong alamang are readily identifiable, and the sauce itself has a chunky consistency. A small amount of cooked or sauteed bagoong is served on the side of a popular dish called “Kare-kare”, an oxtail stew made with peanuts. It is also used as the key flavouring ingredient of a sauteed pork dish, known as Binagoongan (lit. “that to which bagoong is applied”)

The word bagoong, however, is also connoted with the bonnet mouth and anchovy fish version, bagoong terong. )
