Whenever I buy string beans, the first thing that comes to my mind is adodo because this is my husband's favorite. I always cooked it with chicken or beef but last night was different, I cooked it with tuna mackerel. That was my first time to cook it that way and the result was satisfying, good for non-meat eaters.
Ingredients:
1 small bunch of string beans (sitaw), cut into 2 inches length)
200 g tuna mackerel, sliced into cubes
1 medium onion, sliced thinly
3 cloves garlic, crushed
1 bay leaf
1/2 tsp. whole peppercorns
1 tsp. vinegar
soy sauce to taste
1 tbsp. oyser sauce
1/2 cup water
3 tbsp. cooking oil
Directions:
1. Heat oil in a skillet, saute garlic until sligthly brown, add onions and stir for few seconds. Add the fish cubes, water, peppercrons, bay leaf, vinegar and few amount of soy sauce. Let it boil, simmer until the liquids are reduced.
2. Add the string beans and soy sauce, simmer until nearly done, then add oyster sauce. Cook for few seconds, then turn off heat. Serve with hard-boiled egg on top.
