What is Bagoong Balayan?

Bagoong Balayan is a specific type of fermented fish paste (often translated as fish sauce) that is traditionally made from small fish. It provides a deeper, richer, and more potent flavour compared to lighter fish sauces, making it an excellent flavour enhancer.

How to Use It:

• Sautéing: Use it as a base for flavouring meats and vegetables, especially in popular Filipino dishes like Pinakbet and Kare-Kare.

• Condiment: Serve it as a classic accompaniment to green mangoes for a contrast of sweet, sour, and intensely salty flavours.

• Dipping Sauce: Mix it with calamansi juice, chili, and a little sugar to create a bold dipping sauce for grilled fish and meats.

• Staple Flavour: A must-have for recipes that require an authentic umami depth and saltiness.

The convenient squeeze bottle ensures easy and clean pouring, allowing you to perfectly season your meals every time. Bring the true taste of the Philippines to your home cooking with Monika Bagoong Balayan.
