Manila Salted Shrimp Fry, also known as Bagoong Alamang, is a popular condiment and ingredient in Filipino cuisine. It is made from fermented small shrimps (usually krill or tiny shrimp) that are salted and preserved. The shrimp fry undergoes a fermentation process, which develops its distinct flavor.
Bagoong Alamang is commonly used as a flavor enhancer and adds a savory and umami taste to various dishes. It is often used in Filipino recipes such as Kare-Kare (a peanut-based stew), Pinakbet (a vegetable dish), and Binagoongan (pork stewed in shrimp paste). It can also be used as a dipping sauce or as a flavoring agent in stir-fries and sautés.
