Mixed Seafoods Stir Fry 2
Topic: Mixed Seafoods
Here's my another version of mixed seafoods stir-fry. This is different from the first recipe that I posted here, that was consist of shrimps and squid only, the vegetables and sauce that being used there were also different. Here, the seafoods are consist of shrimps, squids and clams, the sauce that I used in this recipe was mainly oyster sauce and lemon juice, the former was black beans and soy sauce. So this is absolutely different. As you see in the picture, the sauce is invisible since I ran out of oyster sauce when I cooked it the other day, only 1 tbsp. left and I need about 3 tbsp.,I just noticed it when I'm about to prepare the sauce, so ther's no time to buy.
The list of the ingredients are too long but it worth preparing for if you are a seafoods lover. Many of the dishes that I cooked at home are consist of long list of ingredients, this is because my hubby likes to eat combination of different taste in 1 dish only. Hence, most of my recipes are prepared and cooked for the sake of love, or let me say in the name of LOVE! LOL :)

Seafoods Sinigang
Topic: Mixed Seafoods
Sinigang is a famous Filipno dish with variety of ingredients. It is typically sour and is often stewed fish, shrimp or meat. It is usually prepared with tamarinds. Other vegetables would include okra, spinach, radish, and string beans, etc. It does not use vinegar, even though it needs to be sour. Another variety is prepared with guava and is less sour than those with tamarind. Raw mango can also be utilized.

My hubby likes sour foods so much and I always warned him for eating such foods because he has an ulcer. That's why whenever I cooked sinigang, I always minimized the sour ingredients.




Ingredients:
250 g shrimp
300 g large fish head (lapu-lapu is the best)
1 big onion diced
1 big tomato quartered
2 pcs. long green pepper
6 pcs tamarind (substitute with ready made sinigang mix if you cannot find tamarind)
4 cups ricewash or water
Vegetables of your choice
salt and fish sauce to taste
Crushed ginger, thumb-sized (optional)

Directions:
1. Boil Tamarind in rice wash or water to soften. Pound and extract all juices and set aside.
2. In a casserole, boil rice wash or water, Tamarind juice (or sinigang mix), onions and tomatoes. Add crushed ginger if you like.
3. Add in the shrimps, fish and green pepper simmer for 5 minutes.
4. Add the vegetables, fish sauce and salt and cook until the vegetables are done. Serve hot.
