FISH and SHRIMP SINIGANG RECIPE
Sinigang is a popular Filipino dish, it can be cooked with fish, shrimp, meat with vegetables.
Simple Cooking Direction:
When cooking sinigang fish I always choose bulgan (ocean perch) as to a lot less bone, meaty and not too fishy but then you can bangus or tilapia or any white fish you like. You can also add or replace the vegetables like spinach, pechay, eggplant, etc.
This is my favorite version, a double treat for seafood lover. Simple yet very gastronomical.
