Looking for Bulanglang Recipe? Well, you came to the right place.

Bulanglang is primarily a boiled vegetable dish flavored with salt and pepper. However, since there are vegetables that are not available to other regions, several versions surfaced.

While its original recipe involves pure vegetables only, some added meat to enhance the flavor. People from the coastal area of the country use fish and shellfishes while those located in the agricultural areas use meat from land animals.

My mother, who hails from Pangasinan, loves cooking Bulanglang. She used to add boneless bagoong saying she grew up with the recipe.
