Topic: Fish
We had these small fishes (the one in the pic) at home which I didn't have too much ideas on how to cook with it, I tried to cook it in many variations already like, frying, stewing, sauteeing, paksiw, etc., so last night I wanted to cook it differently. The idea was derived from my Tuna Adobo in Coco cream that I posted few months ago. It is a combination of hot (pepper) and sour (vinegar) cooked in thick coconut milk.
Ingredients:
500 g fishes, cleaned
1/3 cup vinegar
2 stalks green onions, sliced
2 thum-sized ginger, crushed
1 ripe tomato, sliced thinly
3 cloves garlic, crushed
soy sauce to taste
2/3 cup water
2/3 cup thick coconut milk
long green pepper to taste
salt to taste
3 tbsp. cooking oil
Directions:
1. Soak fishes in vinegar for 10 minutes. Drain.
2. Heat oil in a pan, brown crushed garlic, then add green onion, tomato and ginger, cooked until tender.
3. Add fishes and all the remaining ingredients. Cook for 5-6 minutes or until done. Serve.
