    thanks for spreading the love for cooking, but i dont personally agree in using ” artificial flavoring” such as karekare or sinigang mix unless your out of country. peanut butter si more than enough, just adjust according to taste.

    i agree with euge. as much as possible dont use these ready mix sachets. personally for my kare-kare i use about a cup of uncooked rice (ground by food processor and pan toasted) together with anatto water (achuete) for my sauce. i also like to put puso ng saging.

    Bagoong alamang is not made out of achovies but of small shrimps, thereby the name alamang. An anchovy is a fish, right?
