Every time a Filipino leaves the country, he will sure miss this salty sautéed shrimp paste. Why, because no one from other country would permit him to cook this paste anywhere. Yes, ginisang bagoong has the strong smell that could irritate someone who has never smelled this for his entire life.
However, ginisang bagoong can spare one from health-hazard artificial preservatives. It is carefully kept by salt, which allows it to last up to a year.
While many enjoy incorporating this to other dishes such as ginisang gulay, pinakbet, kare-kare and binagoongan, nothing can beat its partnership with green mango. Ginisang bagoong can create this amazing sweetness when combined with mouth-watering sourness of unripe mango.
While ginisang bagoong is known for its salty taste, many prefers to add some element to make it a little bit sweet and spicy.
The difficulty of understanding why Filipino enjoys ginisang bagoong despite its strong taste and smell perhaps mirrors why it is difficult for men from other country to understand a Filipina and yet marry her.
