Inihaw na Bangus

Inihaw na bangus. We don't do this everytime but this Sunday, we opt to cook something special for dinner, one healthy dish and something not from the can :D

Bangus (Milk Fish)

Fresh water fish



 Onions and tomatoes for stuffing



 Stuffing



 Wrap it up! :D



Finished product

Ingredients:

1 pc medium size bangus (milk fish)
4 pcs medium size tomatoes
3 pcs medium size onions
salt

Clean the fish (tradional cleaning of removing its internal parts), don't remove the scales. Using a knife, slice the back of the fish to make an opening (as seen on the picture) around 4-5 inches long depending on the size of the fish. Sprinkle both sides with salt, set aside.

Chop onions and tomatoes and mix them together (this will serve as stuffing for the fish). Wrap the fish with its stuffing with foil wrapper and set aside. Prepare your griller and make sure you have enough charcoal to last the duration of grilling. Put your prepared fish on the griller and alternately turn the fish every few minutes to keep it from getting burnt. You can either open up the foil to check if its cooked or when the fish stops excreting juice. It takes about an hour or so to cook :D

For your sauce: Some left over stuffing will be perfect combined with soy sauce and a bit of lemon juice OR vinegar. Chopped red chilli pepper will spice it up. yum yum

Food with no name

Pulutan: (According to hip 'n free) is a Filipino term used to call any food that accompanies beer during drinking sessions. Well... Some would but I prefer to eat it with rice, or just plain this.

Me? I'm going to call this tofu tofu!

Ingredients:

5 pcs hotdog
2 cubes tofu
1 pc (big size) onion
2 pcs long pepper (green)
1/4 cup soy sauce
1/2 cup vinegar

In a pan, fry hotdog and tofu separately. Slice your tofu in smaller cubes and the hotdogs in a small round slanting shape (or however you want it) set aside. Chop onions and pepper but not too fine.. make sure you can "bite"them when eating. In a bowl, mix all ingredients starting with the hotdog, tofu, long pepper and onions. Mix them well and lastly pour soy sauce and vinegar and mix all ingredients. Whoala! Tofu Tofu!

Chicken fingers? or Nachos?

Today, I was browsing through recipes online when I found the most mouth watering nacho recipe I've ever seen, I thought I'd cook some for dinner, and though Monday afternoons are fairly traffic, it is not safe to say "it's Monday, I will be home early" needless to say, it was late when I arrive the grocery. Change of plans.. I went for something familiar and easy to prepare.

Chicken Fingers

Dipping Sauce:

1 medium pack mayonnaise
1 tbsp. lemon juice
1 tbsp. honey or (sprinkle of sugar)
mustard powder (i used mustard, the one you put on burger :))

For the Chicken:

2lb chicken breasts cut into strips
1 tbsp sugar
1 tsp. salt
black pepper (as desired)
garlic powder (as desired)
1tsp. paprika
1 cup flour
2 eggs lightly beaten
2-3 cups bread crumbs
cooking oil for frying

Combine mayo, lemon juice, honey and mustard together. stir and put aside. Best when served cold.

In a bowl, mix chicken strips, sugar, salt, black pepper, garlic powder and paprika. Make sure spices evenly coat your chicken strips. Start heating your pan with cooking oil to fry your chicken (best if they're deep fried). Working by servings, coat chicken in flour, then deep in egg then finally coat in breadcrumbs. Fry until chicken turns golden brown.
