Bangus Sisig



No need to introduce sisig as it is one of the most popular and most adapted Kapampangan cuisine all throughout the country.


As the recipe reaches its peak, many variations has taken off and one of them is considered "healthy" alternative as it involves seafood - bangus or milkfish.

And there are as many ways of making bangus sisig as there are for the original pork sisig. Just choose one that fits your own taste!



Here's a simple Bangus Sisig recipe


Ingredients
  • 1 large Bangus (boneless, to make it easy) or some left-over bangus (grilled,fried or even pinamalhan)
  • 4 cloves garlic, chopped
  • 1 large Onion, chopped
  • 1 thumb-sized garlic, finely chopped
  • 2 Tablespoons Soy Sauce
  • 1/4 cup vinegar or juice from 5 calamansi or 1/4 cup water with tamarind powder mix (just adjust the sourness)
  • 2 pcs siling labuyo or chili powder (optional)
  • Salt and Pepper
  • Oil
  • Water
How to make Bangus Sisig
  1. Boil bangus in water (1/2 cup or just enough to cover) and salt for 5-7 minutes. 
  2. When done, let it cool then flake or slice into chunks then set aside
  3. In a pan, heat oil (1-2tbsp) and saute garlic, ginger and onion.
  4. Add bangus, soy sauce and vinegar (or calamansi or tamarind "water") then simmer it for 10 minutes or until it's almost dry.


  5. Season with salt and pepper. Drizzle with 1 tablespoon (or more) oil then add chilies/chili powder and/or more onions.
  6. Serve in a sizzling plate, garnish with spring onion and top with mayonnaise, if desired


One can also fry or grill the bangus instead of boiling to have a crunchier version. This recipe is just a guide and you can make tweak it to suit your cooking and taste.

Valenciana

Ilonggos really love valenciana because most if not all have grown accustomed of having it in almost all occasions like fiesta, brithdays, reunions and all other occasions thus I love calling it as the "occasional dish".   Basically, " go, grow and glow " dish, it has the carbohydrates, protein and vitamins and minerals in just one spoonful. And it can come in its simplest form with just malagkit rice, pork, chorizo and bell peppers to some fancy with additions like raisins, peas, chicken, hardboiled egg (just garnish though), etc.  Here's the recipe for Valenciana Ingredients 3 cups Glutinous Rice ( malagkit ) 2 cups Pork, sliced 1 cup Pork, Beef or Chicken  Liver, sliced 2-3 pieces Chinese sausage, sliced 2-3 large red bell peppers, sliced lengthwise 1 cup Green Peas 3 small boxes Raisins 2 pcs.Onion, chopped 4 cloves garlic, crushed salt and ground pepper to taste  2 pcs. pork/chicken bouillon/broth cube

Native Bibingka

There are two types of bingka I've grown up with. First is the flat and "coconutty" ( with lots of buko strips) bingka made famous by the bingkahans in the plazas of Iloilo City especially in Molo and Jaro plus Plaza Libertad. But the most famous is the one in Mohon, Arevalo which gave birth to the popular bingka sa Mohon. Flat bingka from Mohon And second is the one closer to home, in my hometown which before only appears during Semana Santa but now almost year round. This is what we refer to a puto-bingka as it looks and taste like toasted puto. Here's a sample recipe of this Puto-Bingka

Laswa

Mention laswa  and a merry mix of vegetables would come to mind. This is a perfect "realization" of the Filipino folk song "Bahay Kubo" which narrates an abundance of vegetables beside the traditional Filipino hut. Laswa has no definite list of ingredients nor way or cooking as it is just "stewing" available vegetables, not only from the garden, but what's inside your fridge or you bought from the market. It ranges from the simple all vegetable dish to ones having seafood like shrimps, crabs and more. But in the end it all boils ( pun intended ) down to what you prefer at the same time, what is available. Here's a simple recipe for Laswa
