1Cut the deboned bangus into bite-sized pieces. Season generously with salt and pepper. Marinate for at least 15 minutes, teh. Para mas flavorful, diba?
2Heat the cooking oil in a pan over medium-high heat. Fry the bangus until golden brown and crispy. Remove from pan and set aside.
3In the same pan, sauté the onions and garlic until fragrant. Add the sili and cook for a minute more.
4Pour in the calamansi juice, soy sauce, and patis. Simmer for a few minutes until the sauce slightly thickens.
5Add the fried bangus to the pan and toss gently to coat with the sauce. Cook for another 2-3 minutes.
6Garnish with the extra sliced onions before serving. Serve hot, charot! Perfect pulutan, no?
For extra crispy bangus, pat the pieces dry with paper towels before frying. Don't overcrowd the pan when frying to ensure even cooking. Adjust the amount of sili according to your spice tolerance, girl. Wag naman masyadong spicy, baka ma-sunog ang dila mo!
