Upo With Sardines Recipe

Food shopping is one of the activities that relaxes me. Even with a list on hand, I still end up with “extras” because food ideas keep coming to me while looking for our staples. With what’s going on now, food shopping is nothing but relaxing. It’s probably been a month since I last saw the inside of a supermarket because my hubby does all the shopping at the moment. I try to stretch whatever is available for as long as possible. He limits his trips to the grocery store to once every 2-3 weeks (or even longer this time) and we only go to one store to limit the time outside. Whatever is available at that particular store, that’s what’s on the table for the next few weeks.

This is the last upo I have in the fridge and I think it’s gonna be awhile before I can get my hands on it again so I’m cooking it with sardines because it’s easy, budget-friendly and it goes a long way with just a few ingredients. Good thing I still have one can stashed at the back of the pantry. 

Upo (Bottle Gourd) is considered a staple food in our house. We love the texture and the sweet taste that is present in the broth. I usually add dried baby shrimps, pork cubes or make it the vegetarian version. At times, canned sardines is what I feel like adding to it.
