Binagoongang Bangus

This is a new recipe that I saw from my Instagram reels. Here's my take on the recipe. 



Here's what you need:
Bangus (Milk fish) - for this recipe, I used one whole fish. If the whole fish is not available, just use any part of the Bangus that you can buy ( Example: frozen bangus belly) 

Kalamansi- (Lemon or Lime is fine too.) for kalamansi, use 2-3 pieces. 

Pepper and Magic Sarap (1 small packet only or if you have a big one, use 2-3 tbsp. this will be use to marinate the fish)

maggi or knorr liquid seasoning- about 3-5 tsp. This is only to marinate the fish.)

Bagoong( Shrimp paste) about 5-6 tsp

tomatoes- for this recipe, I used 4. 

onions- for this recipe, I used one whole
 garlic- 5-6 cloves

water- 2-3 cups

Vegetable of your choice. This is optional. I like veggies so for this recipe, I used green beans.

Procedure: 
1. Fry the fish first. Just about until it turns brown. Set aside. Remove any excess oil from the pan. 
2.  On the same pan, ( turn it on medium heat only) Sauté onions, garlic and tomatoes. Sauté them until the tomatoes turn soft. 
3. put shrimp paste. For this time, just use 2 tbsp first. mixed well with the onion, garlic and tomatoes. let it simmer for about a minute. Then put the beans in. put a little water so the green beans will soften. 
4. Once the beans have soften, put in another 2 tbsp of shrimp paste. put in a little water. mix well and let it simmer about 3 mins more. 
5. Put in your fried bangus this  time. coat the fish with your bagoong (shrimp paste) sauce you made. 
* if you like a little more sauce, just add a little water and let it simmer for 5 mins. The tomatoes tend to make the sauce creamier so if you can add little amounts of water and make sure to simmer well so the shrimp paste will mix well and the flavor will coat the whole sauce.  
* We don't need to use any more seasonings since the shrimp paste has enough flavor. 😊😁

Chicken Adobo flakes( rice toppings) This is a very easy dish to make.  For this recipe, I used chicken thighs. Since it's only me and my mom eating, I just used 2 chicken thighs. Chicken thighs are great to use because they are not dry like the chicken breasts. They have a great combination of fats and meat.  Ingredients: Chicken thighs -boiled and shredded Vinegar- 2-3 tsp. Soysauce- 3-4 tsp Oyster sauce - 3 tsp pepper onion garlic cooking oil simple as that. 😁 Once you get your chicken shredded, It's time to make the adobo sauce. First, we have to sautee our onion and garlic. once they are soft and you can smell the aroma, time to put on our vinegar and soysauce.

Since the chicken wings are big, I cut them in half.  Ingredients: Chicken wings (you can use any part of chicken of your choice) Pepper (lots of it! ) Garlic Onion Fish Sauce (patis) oyster sauce vinegar soysauce cooking oil potatoes (cubed) Laurel leaves 1. Marinate first our chicken meat. For this recipe, I used vinegar, oystersauce and soysauce. Marinate it one hour before your cooking time. You can also marinate it the day before you want to cook it.  2. Get the aromatics ready. In a pan, heat up the cooking oil and instead of putting the aromatics first, put the chicken first. Cook it for about 10 minutes.  3. Next, put in your aromatics. Don't forget to put lots of pepper too.
