What is burong hipon?

Burong hipon is a traditional Filipino fermented shrimp dish made by marinating small shrimp in a mixture of rice, salt, and sometimes spices. The shrimp is typically mixed with cooked rice and allowed to ferment for several days, resulting in a tangy and savory flavor. It is often enjoyed as a side dish or condiment, typically served with rice and other main dishes. The fermentation process not only enhances the flavor but also helps preserve the shrimp.
