What is the perfect meal? Typically, it’s one that manages to satisfy all three tiers of the food pyramid. First, you have your carbs — pasta, bread, or, in most Filipino cases, rice will do the trick for that. Then, you have your proteins. This can come in an array of ingredients, whether it’s meat, seafood, or even tofu. And of course, your hearty meal wouldn’t be complete without some greens and veggies to keep your body chock full of nutrients. Altogether, you have a meal that is satisfying from beginning to end. And那is exactly what this ginataang hipon, sitaw, at kalabasa is!

一顿温暖的自制餐很少会比Kalabasa的Sitaw的Ginataang Hipon更好。每个组件本身都是自己的明星,可以使任何饮食体验变得更加明亮。但是,将它们放在一起,您有一顿饭菜,您的全家人一定会躲避。这款Ginataang Hipon菜肴充满了优质的口味和一种香气,在全国范围内受到了人们的喜爱。当它如此美味时,为什么不这样?
卡拉巴萨(Kalabasa)的西塔(Sitaw)Ginataang Hipon只是我们称为Ginataan的众多菲律宾菜之一。
From fish, to jackfruit, to even pork, a lot of dishes have been made even better by the presence of coconut milk, orgata。This warm, rich liquid has become a go to for people looking to spice things up in the kitchen. Coconut milk works great not only in desserts, but in savory dishes too. In fact, in regions like Bicol, you’vegatatry all theirgatadishes (pun intended!).
Coconut milk is nutty, sweet, but not overpowering in its flavor. This makes it perfect for dishes like ginataang hipon, where all the other ingredients have a good flavor of their own. Here are some other ingredients wheregata真正发光,并突出了他们所处菜肴的所有其他口味!

The Bicolano term for delicious ormasarapismasiram— something you definitely won’t be able to stop saying once you get a load of this yummy meal! Ginataang hipon aside, I’d say Bicol Express is another quintessential example of the perfect dish. Here, coconut milk truly shines when you pair it with thick and juicy pork belly. Add some shrimp paste and chili peppers, and you have for yourself one spellbinding dish. The sweetness ofgataworks perfectly well with the spicy chili peppers, and bagoong adds even moreumami。Don’t believe us? Try it for yourself, and you’ll be on the Bicol Express train in no time!

搬过来,Avengers; we have a new crossover event of the century! Don’t you just love when two of your dishes fuse together to create something nothing short of otherworldly? That’s what you get in this delicious, mouthwatering Pork Kaldereta sa Gata! What this dish is able to do is combine what you love most about both dishes and put them all in one stellar and delightful meal. Pork kaldereta sa Gata has a saucier, more prominent tomato base than dishes like ginataang hipon. But the coconut milk that flavors it is truly an ingredient impossible to miss.
Ginataang Bilo-bilo with Langka

We know we’ve spoken a lot about filling meals like ginataang hipon and Bicol Express. But who said all ginataan dishes have to be savory? This Ginataang Bilo-bilo with Langka begs to differ! Filipino cuisine is as innovative as they come, and we see ingredients like coconut milk in all sorts of dishes, regardless of their taste palate. From appetizers straight on down to dessert, there’s agatadish for everyone!
Think of this rich and creamy dessert as a simple Ginataang Halo-halo — another Filipino classic. Ginataang bilo-bilo is a dessert soup; I bet you don’t have plenty of those, do you? Much like other savory stews, a wide assortment of ingredients comprises this sweet dessert. Tapioca balls, glutinous rice balls orbilu-bilo, and of course, the hearty jackfruit, comprise this sweet treat. The best part about this dish is that you can have it any time of day you like! If you’re enjoying it as a snack, best to serve it warm. But it’s also equally delicious as a cold breakfast with loved ones.
而且椰奶也很健康!
椰奶是牛奶的美味替代品,也充满了营养。研究是一种良好的卡路里和饱和脂肪的来源,研究证明了gata还可以帮助减肥。此外,您可能会发现足够的椰奶可以帮助维持健康的胆固醇和心脏水平。难怪人们如此喜欢它!

Ginataang Hipon, Sitaw, at Kalabasa Ingredients
This dish is a combination of two popularGinataandishes, namelyGinataang Hiponand卡拉巴萨的Ginataang Sitaw。正如您所注意到的那样,前者不经常使用蔬菜。只有辣椒和生姜为这顿丰盛的饭菜增添了额外的味道。这不一定是一件坏事。许多人一次又一次地喜欢Ginataang Hipon的丰盛虾。用一部分米饭享用这道菜,将立即让您饱满!人们喜欢这种Ginataang Hipon演绎也就不足为奇了,因为它也很容易制作,并且不需要很多其他成分。
But for those who enjoy healthier alternatives but long for that creamy taste of gata, ginataang sitaw at kalabasa is more often than not a go to. Squash is quite the ingredient; this bright yellow ingredient has a mild but sweet taste you can use in a repertoire of dishes. And sitaw is equally as versatile and dynamic! Not only that, but both of these ingredients have their fair share of nutrients important in any balanced diet.
This dish makes use of almost the same ingredients as ginataang hipon, with common spices like ginger, garlic, and onion. The only difference thus lies in the meat that you use. In ginataang sitaw at kalabasa, pork makes an appearance, adding protein to this hearty dish. While this addition may be seen as optional, pork gives this ginataang delight an extra layer of texture and flavor. Juicy, tender, and delicious, your pork can easily soak up the rich flavors of your coconut milk and other spices.
In this Ginataang Hipon, Sitaw, at Kalabasa, the ingredients are essentially the same. Here is a list of what this dish requires, as well as possible substitutes as you see fit:
- 虾。For this dish, you’ll need to clean about one pound of this sumptuous seafood. Depending on your preference, you can peel the shrimp in order to make it easier once eating. But I prefer keeping them intact, in order to preserve as much flavor as possible. The heads of shrimps, particularly, are insanely flavorful!
- 西塔(String beans). An ever popular green in any Filipino dish, sitaw is one of the easiest vegetables to access at your local supermarket. If you’re looking to try something new, though, slim asparagus or even yard long beans may do the trick! Long green beans (locally known as bitsuelas or Baguio beans) are also good alternatives.
- Kalabasa(壁球)。南瓜及其许多亲戚在口味甚至外观上常常很熟悉。您可以轻松互换它们!如果可以的话,请尝试使用茄子甚至南瓜,以获得您喜欢的温和风味和柔软的质地。胡桃南瓜也很不错。它具有温和的甜味,使菜更愉快地吃。
- Coconut milkis a major ingredient. Fresh is best, but canned and the ones in powder form also works for this dish.
- Yellow onionor any color of onion should be ok.
- Bagoong alamang(建议使用虾糊)。但是,鱼露(Patis)也效果很好。
- malunggayleaves。The popular powerhouse vegetable is one you see in dishes liketinolaandsinigang。malunggay叶有许多营养素和维生素,可以使您的身体比以往任何时候都更健康!在您的杂货店里找不到这些东西吗?不用担心;菠菜也很健康,也很美味!

Some people opt to add ginger to ginataang hipon as well.Gingermasks the fishy smell that so often follows seafood around, but it also adds a distinct flavor of its own. The smell and taste of ginger is unmistakable, and any dish you add it to becomes infinitely better. And don’t forget its large array of health benefits, too!
现在您知道了您需要什么成分,现在该做饭了!Let’s make this ginataang hipon, sitaw, at kalabasa together!
How to cook ginataang hipon, sitaw, at kalabasa
The first step in this dish, as is common in most dishes, is to heat oil in a cooking pot. Three tablespoons of cooking oil are enough, before adding in your garlic and onion pieces. Sauté these two in your pot, softening your onions. Then, add in your shrimp, and cook for 1 to 2 minutes. Remove from the pot and set them aside, as we don’t want the shrimp of your ginataang hipon to overcook.
Next, toss in your 2 tablespoons of bagoong alamang, and pour in 2 cups of coconut milk orgata。搅拌时将这种芬芳的混合物煮沸,然后加入卡拉巴萨群。您的南瓜应该煮8到12分钟,或者只需等到它们的喜欢。一旦它们足够嫩,请将虾放回锅中,然后再次搅拌。很好地掺入所有成分,烹饪大约一分钟。您的Ginataang Hipon的其余部分也进入了。加入您的西塔和马鲁格叶!2至3分钟,让您的Ginataang Hipon,Sitaw,在Kalabasa Cook。加入盐和胡椒粉调味,然后将热量从炉子上掉下来。
Transfer your ginataang hipon, sitaw, at kalabasa to a serving plate. This dish is best served piping hot — so don’t be afraid to dig in right away! With how amazing it smells, I doubt you and your family would be able to wait a little longer.
