INGREDIENTS:
  • 2 Kilos Prawns (trimmed and washed)
  • 1 Kilo Coconut milk (Kakang Gata plus second squeeze)
  • medium sized bowl of Kamias or Pias (around half a kilo) make sure to cut off the ends
  • 5 pieces Green Pepper Fingerlings or Siling Panigang
  • 1 medium sized Ginger sliced and minced
  • 2 medium sized Onions sliced
  • Half a head of Garlic minced
  • 1/3 Cup Fish Sauce
  • 1/8 Teaspoon MSG (optional)
  • 2 to 3 Tablespoons of Vegetable Oil
​

PROCEDURE:
 
  • In a large pot on medium heat, pour in vegetable oil. 
  • Saute ginger first to release taste, heat and aroma, until slightly brown in color. 
  • Set aside in pot and add the garlic. Do not mix with the ginger yet. 
  • Slightly brown the garlic, then add the onion and saute till translucent. 
  • When both garlic and onion are cooked thru, mix with the ginger and saute a bit more. 
  • Then add the prawns and fish sauce and stir occassionally until prawns turn a bit red in color. 
  • Add the Kamias or Pias, stir and cover for 5 to 8 minutes. 
  • Pour in the kakang gata, followed by the second sqeeze while stirring slowly. 
  • Add only up till you reach the consistency you desire for the soup base of the dish. 
  • Keep stirring to avoid curdling. Stir until it reaches boiling point. Let simmer for 5 minutes, then add the green pepper fingerlings and msg. Simmer another 5 minutes. 
  • Turn heat off. Serves 12 to 15 people.

    * optional: if you prefer a thicker consistency for the soup base, you may add diced squash before the prawns and wait till tender before adding in the prawns.
