Bicol Express I

This is the signature dish of the Bicol Province in the Southeastern part of Luzon. A cuisine known for its generous use of hot chili peppers and coconut milk. Reducing the amount of chili peppers will lower the heat, if you’re not into spicy food.

  • 4 to 6 green chili pepper, seeded and thinly sliced
  • 1 tbsp. shrimp paste
  • 1 can (400 ml) coconut milk
  • steamed rice, to serve
