How to luto (Cooking Steps)
1. Season the tilapia with salt, pepper, and garlic powder. Make sure you pat them dry, ha? Para extra crispy ang balat!
2. Heat the cooking oil in a pan over medium-high heat. Wag masyadong mataas, baka masunog agad!
3. Carefully place the tilapia in the hot oil. Fry for about 5-7 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Don't overcrowd the pan, ah? Para pantay ang luto.
4. Remove the tilapia from the pan and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to absorb excess oil. Para hindi oily, girl!
5. Serve hot with your favorite sawsawan (dipping sauce). Perfect with suka't sili!

For extra crispy tilapia, score the skin before frying. Super sosyal tip yan, teh! Also, don't forget to check for doneness by poking it with a fork. Kung malambot na, game na!
