found this one while searching for how to cook guinataan kalabasa. Just bought today a piece of a fresh looking squash from a Turkish shop…don’t have alugbati nor shrimp paste but patis and dried shrimps. Hopefully it will cook well…will just put loads of spicy stuffs. Thanks

I’m not really a good fan of alugbati but I have come to associate the taste with silverbeet. If it’s available in the from where you are, you might want to try it as substitute for alugbati

[...] Mine started off with a vegetarian squash, longbeans and coconut milk stew. Actually, I’ve featured this same Guinataang Sitaw and Kalabasa recipe in the past but the pot looked so invitingly good that day, I took another photo to show off here. There is a slight variation though – can you spot it? The only difference with the first recipe and this one was the addition of squash tops.

This was the same day the laundrywoman came to tend the garden and she took a snip of some squash tops which, unlike in the past when I had to run to my mother with a bunch of them for her to prepare, I did all the prep work this time.

You add it at the end, about 5 minutes before the whole dish is done and cover the pot after putting it in. I turn off the heat just before my dish is ready, cover it and allow the residual heat to do the rest of the job. It works great for me and you’re never left with an overcooked pot of veggies.
