Ingredients

  • 0.75 kg Round Fish
  • 1.5 pieces Potato
  • 0.75 cup Green Beans
  • 1.5 pieces Tomatoes
  • 0.75 piece Onions
  • 3 cloves Garlic
  • 1.5 tbsp Fish Sauce
  • 2.25 pieces Bay Leaves
  • 1.5 tbsp Cooking Wine

Instructions

  1. Clean the round fish, scaling and removing the guts. Score both sides with diagonal cuts about 1 inch apart.

  2. Heat cooking oil in a large pot over medium heat. Sauté the garlic and onions until softened.

  3. Add the diced tomatoes and cook until they break down, about 2 minutes. Pour in enough water to submerge the fish.

  4. Season with fish sauce, add bay leaves, and pour in the cooking wine. Bring to a boil.

  5. Gently place the fish into the pot. Reduce heat and simmer for 8 minutes. Add the sliced potatoes and cook for 10 more minutes.

  6. Add the green beans and simmer for 5 more minutes until all vegetables are tender and the fish is cooked through.

  7. Season with black pepper and a splash of calamansi or vinegar. Serve hot directly from the pot with steamed rice.
