Mix Vegetables without Shrimp Paste

In the Philippines, Mix Vegetables with Shrimp Paste is a dish  known as "Pakbet" or "Pinakbet". It's a mix of local vegetables with fermented fish or small shrimp. Nowadays, Filipinos cook Pakbet with their own way and their own taste. Like me, I didn't add fish paste or shrimp paste and pork. I used shrimp head juice and fish sauce for seasoning that's why I renamed it as Mix Vegetables without Shrimp Paste.
