Introduce

Kare-kare is a popular Filipino dish made with a rich, savory stew of meat and vegetables, often made with oxtail, tripe, or beef, simmered in a thick peanut sauce. It's usually served with steamed rice and a side of bagoong, a fermented shrimp paste, which serves as a dipping sauce. This dish is often reserved for special occasions and celebrations, as it takes a considerable amount of time and effort to prepare. Despite the effort required, it is loved for its complex, umami flavor and hearty texture, which make it a staple of Filipino cuisine.
