Mixed vegetables sauted in ginataang hipon

I like to mix all sorts of vegetables together, depending on what is available at home. Just give it a quick stir fry and you’re done. Filipino vegetable dishes are usually sautéed with meat. Another alternative is ginataang hipon (shrimps in coconut milk) which is a delicacy in the towns of Laguna adjacent to Laguna de Bay.

Chop garlic, tomato and onions. Slice sweet potatoes and ampalaya thinly. Heat 1 tbsp oil in wok and stir fry garlic, tomato and onion until cooked. Add the shrimps, then soy sauce and stir fry for a minute. Add the sweet potato and stir well. Add about 1/4 cup of water and let it simmer till sweet potato is hald done. Then add the ampalaya and continue to simmer till ampalaya is cooked. Season with salt and pepper. Lastly, add the malunggay leaves and cover wok for a minute.
