Apan-apan Recipe
Apan-apan is an Ilonggo favorite and an authentic dish in the Ilonggo region. It is closest to Adobong kangkong, a famous dish in the Tagalog region. As an Ilonggo I would say that Apan-apan is much more flavorful and mouthwatering because of Ginamos.
Ginamos is very close to Bagoong Alamang but a far cry from bagoong. Apan-apan Recipe is very easy and simple to cook, great for a quick meal. Prepare more rice when you cook this dish, you will surely crave for more!

- Kangkong (River Spinach) 1 bunch or tali.

- ½ tablespoon sugar
- Cooking Oil
- Green hot pepper, sliced (optional)
Apan-apan Cooking Instructions: |
- Wash and clean the Kangkong

Sa picture, mukhang me karne. Pero, wala namang karne sa recipe. Vegetarian kasi ako, so gusto ko sanang maniguro na pwede itong lutuin na walang karne. Please confirm.
Thank you 🙂

wala po syang karne, yung bagoong ang nagbibigay ng sarap sa Apan-apan. pero rin syang lang ng karneng baboy.
