Gising-gising, also known as ginataang sigarilyas, is a spicy Filipino vegetable stew or soup. It originates from the provinces of Nueva Ecija and Pampanga province. The dish is traditionally made with chopped winged beans (sigarillas or sigarilyas), coconut milk, labuyo chilis, garlic, onions, and shrimp paste (bagoong alamang). The name literally means "wake up, wake up". Gising-gising can be eaten on its own, served over rice, or used as a side dish for grilled meat dishes. Gising‑gising is part of the broader category of Filipino dishes known as ginataan, which are cooked with coconut milk. It is known for its balance of creaminess, heat, and savory depth.
