Binagoongan is a traditional dish and a technique of preparing food originating from the Philippines. It consists of protein (usually pork belly) that's cooked with shrimp paste. Vegetables such as water spinach or meat such as beef or chicken can be used instead of pork, which is sautéed or braised with shrimp paste and additional ingredients such as bay leaves, peppercorns, garlic, chili peppers, eggplant, or pineapple chunks. Once prepared, binagoongan should be very salty and it's usually served with steamed white rice. In order to subdue the saltiness, vinegar and sugar are often added to binagoongan.
