- 2 large Roma tomatoes, chopped
- 2 quares tahure (fermented bean cakes), drained
- 2 tablespoons vinegar
- 1 cups water
- ½ cup tausi, fermented black beans, rinsed and drained
Instructions
- Rinse fish and drain well. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- In a skillet over medium heat, heat about 2 inch deep of oil.
- Carefully add fish in the hot oil and cook for about 3 to 5 minutes on each side or until lightly browned. Remove from pan and drain on paper towels.
- In another pan over medium heat, heat about 1 tablespoon of oil. Add onions, garlic, and ginger and cook until softened.
- Add tomatoes and cook, mashing with the back of the spoon, until softened and release juices.
- In a bowl, mash tahure. Add vinegar and water and stir until combined.
- Add tahure mixture to the pan and boil, uncovered and without stirring, for about 2 to 3 minutes.
- Add tausi and stir to combine.
- Add bangus in a single layer.
- Cover, lower heat, and continue to cook for about 4 to 6 minutes or until fish.
- Season with salt and pepper to taste. Serve hot.
Notes
- You can add tofu cubes to extend the dish deliciously. Use firm tofu, not silken.
- Drain the tofu well. Wrap with a thick layer of paper towels and weigh down with a plate for about 15 to 20 minutes to absorb the excess liquid.
- Cut the tofu block into three pieces. Deep-fry until golden and crispy. Remove from pan and drain on paper towels. Cut into cubes.
- Add tofu and gently toss to combine. Cook just until heated through.
