binulad kag dayok



Binulad nga dayok is a kind of masarap nga bagoong in the philippines.The next morning, they are spread out on plastic or fiberglass mats on the ground next to the fishermen's simple wooden homes to dry in the hot tropical sun. Late in the day, they are gathered and re-stored in the jars for the night, to be laid out again the next day when the sun burns hot. This goes on for three or more days, until the shrimp disintegrate and dry from pink to a dark purplish brown. When the shrimp are no longer recognizable and completely turned into dense paste, the is ready for use and is returned to the earthen jars until an agent comes by to collect it. The shrimp paste gathered from all the families in the village is mounded into enormous, colorful plastic tubs, each weighing several hundred kilograms when filled. If properly dried, the paste can keep for several months without refrigeration. the dayok is a kind a favorate in filipino people because it is so very taste and most especially when it is in cold winter and also da uga.
