Ginisang Bagoong is an essential Filipino condiment. You can dip green mangoes and jicama (singkamas) or for me, I love it over hot steamed rice with fried talong. I usually make jars of Ginisang Bagoong with Pork but I only have a cup left in the fridge from cooking Pork Binagoongan. In Ilonggo, we call Ginisang Bagoong as Gingisa nga Ginamos. Normally Filipinos makes Ginisang Bagoong sweeter by adding sugar, while others prefer the original salty, while some Filipinos likes it very hot and spicy so feel free to adjust the saltiness, the sweetness and the spiciness of this Ginisang Bagoong recipe.
