But Ilocano do not just use fish sauce to soup base
vegetables recipes but also to some recipes that may or may not necessary to
bagguong. Sometimes this is included in some coconut milk base dishes, some
meat recipes called binagguongan and also some dip for some fried dish mixed
with vinegar, calamansi or lemon extract.
