Sigarillas or winged beans is one of the most common Indian vegetable here in Qatar. I grew up with this vegetable, my mom always cook it either in sinigang, ginataang sigarillas or with sotanghon. Now that I have my own family, I learned to cook Bicol express using this vegetable. My eldest son likes it so much. He call it kangkong, well in fact he calls all the green vegegetables kangkong and as long as it is kangkong he will surely eat it. That is why I did not correct him anymore.
Ingredients:
- 1/2 kilo beef, cut into strips
- winged beans, cut into strips
- 1 can coconut milk
- onion,cut thinly
- garlic, crushed
- shrimp paste
- salt and pepper to taste
- hot peppers, cut thinly or chopped
Put coconut milk, onion, garlic, meat, shrimp paste in the pan. Do not cover.
Let it boil and turn into medium heat, stirring constantly until meat is cooked thoroughly.
When cooked, add the winged beans and the hot peppers.
Simmer for few minutes or until the veggies are done.
Serve with rice.

ReplyDeleteI don't cook so I'd probably just share this recipe with my mom. She's always on the lookout for new recipes :) Oh, and funny how your son refers to all veggies as kangkong. You're important thing is that he eats them, no matter what he calls them. :)

ReplyDeleteWe call sigarillas in Ilocos as pallang, and you know what, your post surprised me for the reason that pwede rin pala siya sa Bicol express. Akala ko hanngang dinengdeng and pinakbet lang ito :)
ReplyDeletei'm from bikol kaya familiar ako with this recipe, anything yata sa bikol ginagataan ;) and it goes well with chicken too...
ReplyDeletei like sigarillas in sinigang...but i haven't seen one in Dubai...
I like Bicol Express although I'm not really a big fan of spicy foods! :D And we actually just had this for dinner the other night.. :D
ReplyDeleteNung sa may greenhills pa ako nagwowork, may kinakainan ako na ang bicol express nila ay 90% sili. Grabe ang anghang pero ang sarap.
ReplyDeleteBicol Express is love. I just realize that it can make a perfect pair with boiled potatoes too - my primary alternative for rice.
ReplyDeleteI love all dishes if they are cook with coconut milk in it, of course this recipe are one of them
ReplyDeleteI love sigarillas thank you sa recipe mukhang masarap!
ReplyDeleteI will definitely follow your food blog. As I browse through your page, I think it would be a great help for me to give my family healthy and yummy food.
ReplyDeleteAnd I have been eating this sigarillas but it's just now that i know it is sigarillas.:) new learning!
Wow Miss Tess Galeng mo talaga magluto at magpakain ng gulay sa anak mo! Hindi lahat ng bata kayang kumain ng gulay! Kudos sa galeng mo mag disiplina at mag alaga sa mga anak mo po! Alam mo naman bilib ako sa yo. Bicol Express is the specialty of my beloved Mama. It is a sad thing that she's no longer with us here on earth that's why I don't know how to cook this dish. It is a good thing that you have a lot of sigarillas way back when you're still in Qatar.
ReplyDeleteThis is my mom's favorite! Unfortunately, di ko feel ang recipe na to cause I often eat vegetables. Silly me :P Anyway, I might share this to my mom kasi di siya nakakapagluto ng Bicol express.
ReplyDeleteI love Bicol Express because of it's spiceness...But unfortunately, I am more on eating than cooking...LOL
ReplyDeleteI love bicol express. Unfortunately, me and my wife try not to eat it too much because of doctors orders. But we love it nonetheless. This post makes me miss it more.
