This gising-gising / ginataang sitaw at kalabasa recipe doesn’t have bagoong. Instead, it gets its fishy umami by steeping tinapa (smoked fish) in coconut milk, creating a tasty sauce to swaddle the green beans and tender squash. One chili will add a friendly amount of heat, which you can easily ramp up by adding more.
