Ginisang Alamang with Kamias and Ampalaya is a budget-friendly and healthy dish you can cook whenever there’s fresh alamang (micro shrimp) available in the market. This is one of the dishes that I learned to cook and eat now that I’m already married.
I know that this is an old recipe because I discovered this while buying ulam in an old carinderia in Malabon. Yes, Iwe were buying ulam because we were too lazy to cook that day. I was intrigued when I first saw this because it was my first time to see ampalaya and kamias together in a dish and these were two of my favorites.
And so, I told myself I’d just recreate this at home so I can share it with you.

- Cut bitter melon in half lengthwise. Remove the seeds using a spoon. Make sure you scrape out all the white stuff.
- Slice it diagonally and put into a bowl. Smother it with salt, make sure each slice gets some salt into them and let it stand for about 5 minutes. Rinse it off with water and set aside.
