I think 3 cups of peanut butter is too much. DID YOU MEAN 1/3 CUP?
I am only 12 turning 13 on may 1st i am not full filipino but i love kare kare and i agree i think 3 cups of peanut butter is to much but it is really really good!!! p.s. i’m American filipino
yes.it too much for that..
BTW, bagoong alamang is not anchovies, but shrimp.
3 cups of peanut butter I think is just right. What makes this dish appealing, especially to American Pinoys, is that peanut butter taste. I actually throw in peanuts along with the peanut butter.
Thanks Ray, personally I agree – I love peanut butter haha!
