Guisadong Upo Recipe
Guisadong upo is one of the sautéed vegetable dishes popular in Philippines more commonly on provinces where bottle gourds are abundant. This cheap and simple dish usually is made out of 3 main ingredients which are pork, bottle gourd and tomatoes. A simple yet rich dish which is enjoyed as mains paired with rice but if the budget can extend a bit further having fried galunggong (Mackerel Scad) is the best combination. Try this humble yet good recipe which I will definitely recommend if you love vegetables.
