Pork binagoongan or Binagoongang Baboy is pork seasoned with shrimp paste. It is an easy yet delicious dish. It commonly tastes salty as a result of its shrimp paste ingredient. The saltiness can, however, be reduced by adding sugar. Variations such as the addition of green beans, carrots, and eggplant can be used. It can also be made spicier with the addition of chili peppers. You will not consider your diet when this dish is eaten with a steaming bowl of rice!
