The ingredients of bulanglang
and pinakbet are almost the same, but
the cooking method is different. Pinakbet
is almost dry and ingredients are stirred fried and flavored with bagoong while bulanglang boiled with rice wash or hugas bigas and soupier. Just put rice water in a casserole, add tomato
and garlic and bring to boil for about 5 minutes then add squash first, simmer
for at least 2 minutes then add the remaining ingredients simmer until okra is
cooked before adding the squash tops and flower. Seasoned with salt. Serve while hot. This is also
the favorite vegetable dish of my parents in Batangas. I like to eat this bulanglang with sinaing na tulingan.
