Ingredients

  • Cooking oil
  • 500 g raw fish slices
  • Salt for the fish
  • ¼ cup sliced ginger
  • 5 cloves garlic sliced
  • 1 onion sliced
  • 1 tomato sliced
  • 1 cup sliced radish
  • 3-4 cups water
  • 2-3 tbsp sinigang mix powder
  • 1 eggplant sliced
  • 10 string beans sliced into 2 inches
  • 3 long green chili
  • Your choice of leafy greens
  • Salt and fish sauce to taste

Instructions

  1. Sprinkle some salt all over the fish, and fry it in hot oil until both sides are golden brown. Remove the fried fish and set it aside.
  2. In a pan over medium-high heat, add cooking oil. Once the oil is hot, add garlic and ginger. Cook for about 2 minutes.
  3. Add tomato and onion, and cook until soft. Next, add sliced radish and water. Cover the pan and cook for about 2 minutes.
  4. Add the fried fish and sinigang mix powder (you can adjust this later, so don’t add a lot at this point). Cover and let it cook for about 5 minutes.
  5. Add eggplant slices, string beans, and green chili. Cover the pan and cook again for another 2 minutes.
  6. At this point, you can turn off the heat, add the leafy greens, and mix.
  7. Season with fish sauce and salt. Do a taste test and add more sinigang mix powder if desired.

Recipe Notes

  • You can use any type of fish.
  • I used sinigang sa sampalok mix but you can use other varieties.
  • You can skip the sautéing part.
