Topic: Fish
Here I am, experimenting again! I saw Sinigang mix in the kitchen and I didn’t know why the first thing that came to my mind was steaming the fish using that mixture. I knew it was not made for this purpose but who cares when I used it this way! I just want to try and it was good but I still recommend my other steamed fish version. Click here
