Buridibud is a vegetable soup dish similar to dinengdeng, the main difference is that this dish uses sweet potatoes as its main ingredient where it is cooked to the point that it’s so soft it breaks down with the soup giving it a thicker texture. Like dinengdeng there are no rules on what vegetables you can use, the limit is your imagination but the most common ones are eggplant, okra, string beans, bitter gourd (ampalaya), moringa leaves (malunggay), moringa fruit, jute leaves and squash blossoms to name some.

The flavour profile of this dish is sweet, savoury and bitter so you need a bit of training to love this dish. It’s an acquired taste but if you get used to it like us we tend to get addicted to it, the flavours and texture of the vegetables is something to crave for.
