Kinalabasang Sugpo

Kinalabasang Sugpo is similar to my Suam na Kalabasa at Hipon, Kinalabasang Hipon. Cooking is basically the same. I did not have the right Pilipino vegetables for this dish so I have to use vegetables that are available in my present location. I have to use pumpkin instead of the Pinoy squash, for the green leafy vegetable ingredients I have to use baby spinach which was the only leafy vegetable available at the time of cooking. Now if you are lucky and similar Pinoy vegetables are available in your location or perhaps you are in the Philippines then use kalabasa and kangkong instead. Now if you have malungay leaves that would be perfect. Here is the recipe of my Kinalabasang Sugpo.

Ingredients:

1/2 kilo medium size prawns, pre-cooked
1/4 medium size squash, peeled, de-seeded, sliced
1 large packet baby spinach
2-3 red/green long chili
3-4 cloves garlic chopped
1 small size onion, chopped
1 small size tomato chopped
1/4 cup fish sauce
salt to taste
cooking oil

Cooking procedure:

In a sauce pan sauté garlic, onion and tomato and stir in the sliced squash. Add in fish sauce and stir cook for a minute. Add in 3 to 4 cups of water and, bring to a boil and simmer for 15 to 20 minutes or until the squash start to disintegrate. Add in the prawns and continue to cook for 2 to 3 minutes. Add in the spinach and continue to simmer for about 1 minute until the spinach are just cooked. Correct saltines if required and serve hot.
