paksiw at munggo

dito sa dubai meron din namang bangus, pero minsan me lasang gilik ba tawag dun? so ang gamit ko na lang to make paksiw eh yung tanigue. malaman na, hindi pa siya matinik. and again ala lola orang din ang alam kong paraan ng pagluto, medyo me dinagdag lang ako ng konti… J

Paksiw na Tanigue

· ½ kilo Tanigue
· Ginger (luya) - crushed
· Garlic (bawang) - crushed
· Onion (sibuyas) - sliced
· Vinegar (me Datu Puti dito !)
· Soy Sauce – (2 T)
· Ground black pepper
· Salt
· Oil ( 1T)
· Oyster sauce - ½ tsp
· Water

1. Wash the fish thoroughly. Drain and season with salt. Let stand for few minutes.

2. In a pot, mix the ginger, onion, garlic, vinegar, sprinkle of pepper, soy sauce and water.

3. Place the tanigue and swirl the pot to cover the fish with the mixture. Note that the water should be just enough to half-cover the fish as the fish will release its own water while cooking.

4. Place the cover of the pot and put on fire and let boil. Once it boils, add the oil and oyster sauce, let simmer till the fish is cooked through. Remove from heat.

tadahh! tapos na. ang dali ano? dagdag ko na lang yung sibuyas, oyster sauce at soy sauce…wala lang - masarap din naman eh!

serve with garlic fried rice (plain rice will do too!)and ginisang bagoong na medyo maanghang ng konti. Good to go with ginisang munggo.


Ginisang Munggo

· Munggo – boiled
· Tomatoes – chopped finely
· Onion – chopped finely
· Garlic – minced
· Pork strips - boiled ( belly preferred)
· Shrimps – shelled
· Ampalaya – seeds removed and sliced diagonally or
· Spinach ( instead of ampalaya)
· Oil
· Salt


wash the munggo beans, place in a pot with enough water to cook it through. add more water in the process if required.

meanwhile wash, chop, slice the remaining ingredients.

in a wok, heat up the oil. igisa the garlic onion, tomatoes. add the shrimps and let cook. add the pork and let fry a bit.

with a slotted ladle, scoop the munggo beans and add to the ginisang garlic/onion/tomatoes/pork and shrimps.

let simmer, add the water from the boiled munggo. season to taste.

add the ampalaya (or spinach) and simmer till the veggies are half cook. adjust the seasoning if necessary. remove from fire. once again the heat will completely cook the veggies! :)

tapos na ….
