Sinigang sa Bayabas

There are many variations of sinigang, and today I will be sharing my version of guava sinigang or sinigang sa bayabas, mmmmmm the aroma of this dish while you are stewing make your mouth water. Once you will eat this, it will make you want for more. Just like other sinigang ( sinigang sa sampalok, sinigang sa miso, sinigang sa kamatis, etc) this guava sinigang is truly delicious and 100 % original Filipino food. It's sad because milk fish ( bangus ) is not available here, that's the best fish that we can use for this. :) Try it!

Ingredients:
1 regular size tilapia or any fish that you'd like to use
8 okra pods
6 pieces guava ( cut into wedges)
1 onion
1 bundle kangkong or any green leafy vegetables
3 yams or gabi ( cut into wedges)
3 pieces siling haba
salt to taste

Procedure:
1. Boil the guavas with 6 cups of water, continue to boil until very tender, then mash it with fork( leave some slices for serving later,) drain and set aside.
2. Meanwhile , boil the yam with 2 cups of water and salt, when it is tender add the fish and simmer until cooked, then add the okra and simmer for 2 minutes, then add the green leaves and siling haba then simmer until done.
3. Pour in the drained guava soup and let simmer for few minutes allowing all the flavors of the ingredients to infuse. Add salt if necessary.
4. Serve when it is done.

You can add more vegetables for this recipe, like string beans and eggplants, and you can squeeze some calamansi to enhance the sour taste.

Ginger Stewed Fish

I planned to fry this fish but somebody suggested not to cook it in oil for health reasons, so I decided to cook it this way, purely from my imagination, but I was nervous because I do not know if the person whom I will be serving this fish will like it or not, because he is a very good cook, but after eating, he appreciated the taste and said it was yummy! :D.

Ingredients:

1 whole fish

1 1/2 tablespoon ginger juice (shred the ginger then extract the juice)

1 tablespoon lime juice

salt and pepper to taste

onion

4 stalks spring onion

1/2 cup water

Procedure:

1. Clean the fish properly and put slits in the middle so that it can absorb the flavor.

2. Put in a cooking pan, sprinkle with the ginger and lime juices on both sides, then put the onion and the white parts of the spring onion, salt and pepper then cook over medium heat allow to simmer until the fish produces its own juice. Then cook in a low heat for 15 minutes or more, allowing all the flavors of the spices to infuse with the fish. Add the water and simmer for 5 minutes.

3. When it is done add the spring onion and some green leafy vegetables for garnishing.

4. Serve it hot.
