Pakbet is a savory Filipino vegetable stew that’s a staple in the local cuisine. It traditionally includes a variety of indigenous vegetables like eggplant, okra, ampalaya (bitter melon), sitaw (long beans), and kalabasa (squash), which are sautéed and simmered with shrimp paste (bagoong alamang) for a distinct flavor. Pork, often belly or lechon kawali (crispy pork belly), is commonly added for richness. The dish is a harmonious blend of salty, sweet, and slightly bitter flavors due to the ampalaya, reflecting the agricultural bounty of the country.
