The secret is if the dish is cooked with fish there it is always matched with fried chicken or fried pork chop.

Example:

Food cooked with any type of meat is matched up with fried fish to balance your meal for example:



As to your vegetables normally it is matched up with anything fried or grilled it all depends what is your main ingredient that is mixed up with your vegetable like for example: 

Pinakbet is mixed vegetables cooked with either shrimp or pork so if you use shrimp you will match it with fried pork chop or grilled liempo but if it you had used pork you will reverse it to fried fish or grilled fish.

Chop Suey with fried chicken

This tricky part munggo  is matched with paksiw bangus.

There is a technique how well you match up your food but with practice you will memorize it once you cook it together and you will see what you like best on each dish you have cooked.

We eat our Filipino Spaghetti with Fried Chicken or Grilled Chicken or Pork Barbeque this is what you see in a typical Filipino party.

Enjoy matching your food in choices you would like to add additional to your main course.
