Bagoong Guisado Spicy

Bagoong Guisado Spicy is a spicier variant of the popular Filipino condiment Bagoong Guisado Regular. It is a fermented shrimp paste known for its intense flavor and spicy herbs.

Bagoong Guisado Spicy is prepared in the same way as the regular version, where the fermented shrimp paste is mixed with sautéed ingredients such as garlic, onions, and tomatoes. The difference lies in the addition of extra herbs and spices, such as chili peppers, to add a spicy kick to the flavor.

This spicy variant of Bagoong Guisado is often used to give dishes a spicy and savory taste. It can be added to dishes such as adobo, sinigang, kare-kare, and other Filipino dishes to add an extra dimension of spiciness.

Bagoong Guisado Spicy is typically sold in jars or bottles and can be found in supermarkets and Asian stores, both in the Philippines and in areas with a large Filipino community.

It is important to note that Bagoong Guisado Spicy, due to its spicy nature, has a strong flavor. It can challenge the taste buds for those who are not accustomed to spicy food. If you enjoy spicy food, this variant is a great choice to add some extra heat to your dishes and give your meals a flavorful kick.

Shrimp pasta

Shrimp pastes have been made in Southeast Asia and South China for centuries. There are, in principle, two forms of shrimp paste. An opaque variant that is also called trassi(e) and a transparent, gelatinous variant that is called Petis Udang in Malay and Indonesian and Bagoong in Filipino.

Production process

The production process of the opaque variant consists of raw shrimp being ground (usually first), after which it is mixed with salt (and sometimes sugar). It is then allowed to ferment for some time. During or after the fermentation period, it is dried in the sun. Most Indonesian and Malaysian shrimp pastes are then compressed into cakes and possibly further dried. With the Chinese and Thai shrimp pastes, the dried cakes are first ground before they are sold. In the transparent variant, finely ground shrimp are first mixed with salt, sugar, and flour, after which it is fermented into a paste. This syrupy, transparent variant is of course not dried.

Both variants can best be stored in a well-sealed jar (glass or PET). Traditional shrimp pastes have a long shelf life due to their high salt content. They can be stored very well at room temperature because they were developed in tropical countries where, for modern times, refrigerators were of course not available.
