12 pcs long sitaw (green string beans)
3 pcs small eggplants
2 tablespoon chopped garlic
1 small onion, chopped
3 small tomatoes, chopped
2 tablespoons shrimp chili paste (bagoong)

saute garlic in little oil till golden brown. add the chopped onions and cook till translucent. add the tomatoes. cook till the tomatoes are very soft. add the bagoong to saute. chop the sitaw into 2 inch lengths and add it to the pan. add very little water to steam through the sitaw. after 8 minutes, add the talong that was cut into 1 inch lengths. cook in low to medium heat until the vegetables are tender and done. serve with rice. Salt may not be needed as the bagoong is already salty.
