Sangkap (Ingredients)
☐500 grams, any firm white fish like Lapu-Lapu or Maya-Maya, cut into serving pieces Isda (Fish)

☐2 tablespoons Langis (Cooking Oil)
How to luto (Cooking Steps)
1. Sauté bawang, sibuyas, and luya in langis until fragrant, mga 1 minute lang. Don't burn it, ha! Ang pangit naman.
2. Add sili and cook for another minute. Careful now, baka mapaso ka sa anghang!
3. Put in the isda and cook until lightly browned on both sides. Wag masyadong matagal, baka maging tuyo!
4. Pour in gata, patis, asin, and paminta. Simmer until the sauce thickens and the isda is cooked through, around 15-20 minutes. Check for seasoning, bes!
5. Serve hot with steamed rice. Perfect with a side of atchara (pickled papaya) for that extra zing!
Tips
Para mas flavorful, you can marinate the isda in patis and a pinch of pepper for 30 minutes before cooking. Charot! Pero seriously, it enhances the taste!
