The transliteration of gising-gising from Filipino to English is "wake up-wake up." Ideally, this vegetable dish recipe should be spicy enough to wake you up if you're feeling sluggish. You can use other kinds of vegetables like string beans or river spinach (kangkong), but I like to use winged beans (sigarilyas) because of their unusual shape. Best served with steamed white rice and tinapa (smoked fish).
