Pinoy Dish – Ginisang Ampalaya with Daing

Ginisang ampalaya na kasing bitter ng lovelife ni Ate girl plus I made daing na di masyado nabilad sa araw kase makulimlim kanina dahil kasing cold mo pa din ang panahon.

Kidding aside, mas gusto ko na mas bitter ung ampalaya feeling ko mas masustansiya.

Sarap with malamig na Coke. Let’s eat!

Daing in English is Dried Fish and…

Fresh fish rapidly deteriorates unless some way can be found to preserve it. Drying is a method of food preservation that works by removing water from the food, which inhibits the growth of microorganisms. Open air drying using sun and wind has been practiced since ancient times to preserve food. Water is usually removed by evaporation (air drying, sun drying, smoking or wind drying) but, in the case of freeze-drying, food is first frozen and then the water is removed by sublimation. Bacteria, yeasts and molds need the water in the food to grow, and drying effectively prevents them from surviving in the food.

Fish are preserved through such traditional methods as drying, smoking and salting. The oldest traditional way of preserving fish was to let the wind and sun dry it. Drying food is the world’s oldest known preservation method, and dried fish has a storage life of several years. The method is cheap and effective in suitable climates; the work can be done by the fisherman and family, and the resulting product is easily transported to market.
