Fermented shrimp sauce?

[chappie]

I bought a ketchup-like bottle full of tiny shrimp in a small Asian market in Montgomery County, Md. I was in the refrigerated section and I think the english words "fermented shrimp sauce" are listed under its name (I'm at work right now, so I don't have it in front of me).

Does anyone here know how I should use this stuff?

Sounds a like "[Cincaluk", often served as a savory condiment. Mix a few tablespoons with lime juice, sliced shallot and birdeye chili. Just google for other ideas.

4 ripe tomatoes, cubed

2 tbsps. fermented shrimp sauce

1/2 cup water

3 medium-size eggplants, cut into 2-inch cubes

2 cups bitter melon, cut into 2-inch lengths (scrape out the soft center and the seeds, then cut into 2-inch-long pieces), zucchini can be substituted

10-ounce package frozen okra

10-ounce package frozen lima beans

salt and pepper to taste

Be careful when opening-it may fly out all over the kitchen.

<SMACKS FOREHEAD> Of course, please add cubes of calabasa to the pinakbet recipe. It has to be added along with the eggplant, bitter melon, etc....
