Paksiw na Bangus is one of the simplest and most delicious ways to cook milkfish! The fish is simmered in vinegar and spices, making it really tender and tasty. Serve it with steamed rice for a healthy, delicious, and affordable meal that the whole family can enjoy.

1. 1 large milkfish
2. 1 large eggplant, cut into 1-inch thick wedges
3. 1 onion, peeled and sliced thinly
4. 4 garlic, peeled and pounded
5. 1 thumb-size ginger, sliced into thirds and pounded
6. ½ cup vinegar
7. 1 cup water
8. 3 finger chili peppers
9. 1 ½ teaspoons salt
10. 1 teaspoon peppercorns
11. 1 teaspoon canola oil
Procedure:
1. Clean and gut the fish, keeping the scales on. Cut it into serving pieces.
2. In a large pot, toss in the fish, eggplant, onion, garlic, ginger, vinegar, water, finger chili peppers, salt, and peppercorns.
3. Cover it up and let it simmer for about 10 to 15 minutes, or until the fish is cooked and the liquid has reduced.
4. Drizzle some oil on top and give it a gentle stir to mix. Serve it hot.
Rating:
⭐⭐⭐⭐- The dish is pretty good overall, especially the soup. It is not too sour and has a nice savory flavor. However, I find the milkfish a bit too bony for my liking. It might take some time to get used to it, but it is still good.
