1/2 medium sized squash - peeled, sliced and cut up into 1/2 inch.

4 cups of thick coconut milk (kakang gata)
1 cup of not too strong vinegar (or rice vinegar)
Directions:
I. In a casserole arrange fish and spices
2. Pour in vinegar and 2 cups thick coconut milk
3. Boil only for 5 minutes (not longer or fish will be mushy)
4. (remove fish and set aside)
5. Add onions, red and green peppers

Hi! Oh, yes, I also love cooking with coconut milk---altho in such a case...I eat a lot of rice which expands my waistline (lol!)...This is really so delicious..you will keep on doing it every so often. Happy cooking!
ReplyDeleteThat's masarap nga, and will try it next time! Is this something that we can wrap in pechay leaves? Or some kind of other leaf??? Whatever, it is yummy!!!
ReplyDeleteAlthough I won't probably trade the Ginataang Tahong that you sent me, haha! I see that you and my contact are linked up na pala. Glad to see her here. They are from CA, and pareho kayo niya, I think she also loves cooking kase! And also, she's a fairly new Lola!
Nice you are posting lots these days...You may as well turn this site into a cooking blog! Lots of people like that kind of blogging! ;o)
Yes, you may or may not wrap in pechay--in that case, kahit no more squash....and in case you will wrap in pechay---add a little bagoong.
ReplyDeleteYes, she loves to cook too...actually ang dami kong bagong recipe which I know I can post sometime.
