Hello, how are you? My parents really like Paksiw na bangus so much specially my dad but my cousin is so done eating it and I ask him why he doesn’t like to eat it and he answer “it is too much work to eat and I don’t have time for it” hahaha LOL I get him bangus or milk fish in english have so much fishbone in it that it is too much work to eat it LOL. So when he’s at work, I used to cook it for my parents and my brother for their lunch.
And the one food I am going to cook is what we call “Papait”, it is a type of leafy vegetables that can be paired with alamang (shrimp paste) and kamatis (tomatoes), which taste perfect for me!

Let's Cook!
Let's Cook!
In a hot pan, I added about a tablespoon of cooking oil.
And then I added the aromatics like garlic, red onion, and ginger, and I cooked it until the aroma came out.
Then I added fish sauce, and let the fish sauce seep into the aromatics for about 10 seconds.
And then I added 4 tablespoons of white vinegar.
Two cups of water, let it boil.
When the water starts boiling, I am going to add the bangus (milk fish) into the pan.
To add spice to the food, I added 1/4 teaspoon of ground pepper.
And then to add more flavor to the food, I added 1 teaspoon of all-in-one seasoning.
And then to add a spicy and unique flavor to it, I added the green chilis. I added about 5 of them.
Let it cook for about 10 minutes on medium heat and make sure flip the fish every 5 minutes to make sure to cook it evenly.
Cooking the Papait:
First thing to do is to drown and wash it.
In a pot, I added about a liter of water and let it boil.
When the water starts boiling, I add the papait and cook it or blanche for about 1-2 minutes.
After that, I cool it down in cold water to stop it from cooking.
Serve the papait with alamang (squid paste) and kamatis (tomatoes). Happy Eating!
