1tomatosliced
¼cupred bell peppersliced
1green chilisliced
½ - 2/3cupwater

Fried eggs with tomatoes(optional)
Cook white riceto serve
Instructions
In a pan over medium heat, add cooking oil. When the oil is hot enough, fry the salted dried fish on both sides until cooked. Remove from the pan and transfer to a plate. Discard the oil.
Using the same pan, add cooking oil. When the oil is hot enough, add ginger and garlic; cook for about 1 minute. Add sliced onion, tomato, red bell pepper, and chili; cook until soft. Add water (depending on how “saucy” you dish to be) and let it simmer for about 5 minutes.
Add spring onions, then season with salt & pepper.
Transfer the sauce to a plate and top with the fried salted dried fish.
Serve with warm cooked white rice. I also like to have fried eggs with tomatoes on the side.
Recipe Notes
You can simmer the fried salted dried fish with the “sauce”, but I’d like to keep the crispiness of the fish so I didn’t do it.
Also, you can add eggs to the sauce like how you make Sarciadong Isda but I’d like to enjoy it separately.
