A northern Filipino (Ilocano) vegetable dish: garden vegetables braised with shrimp paste and a little pork. The name means 'shrunken', as the vegetables soften in their own juices.

Method
Tap a step once you've finished it.
- In a wide pot, render the pork belly in the oil over medium heat until the fat melts and the cubes are golden brown.
- Add the garlic and onion and cook for 2-3 minutes, then add the tomatoes and cook until they break down.
- Stir in the shrimp paste and fry for 1 minute.
- Add the pumpkin and water, and cook covered for 8 minutes.
- Add the aubergine, green beans, bitter melon and okra. Don't stir — just shake the pot so the vegetables keep their shape — and cook covered for a further 8-10 minutes until tender but not falling apart.
- Season with pepper and serve with rice.

Tips
- Soaking the bitter melon in salted water for 10 minutes takes off some of its bitterness.
- Also made meat-free with fried tofu.
- Shrimp paste is salty, so only add salt after tasting.
