Recipe type: Main
Cuisine: Filipino
Serves: 5-6 pieces
Ingredients
  • 1 lb salted dried fish (about 5-6 pieces)
  • ½ small onion, sliced
  • 2 garlic cloves
  • 3 large tomatoes
  • 2 tbsp of cooking oil for sautéing
  • ⅛ tsp salt
  • 2 cups water
  • 2 tbsp chopped green onions for garnish
Instructions
  1. Soak salted dried fish (daing) in a bowl of cold water to remove most of the salt. Let it sit for 15 minutes or so then rinse under cold running water. (Note: This step is necessary to reduce the saltiness of the dish. Most salted dried fish are very salty in order to preserve them longer. However, if you have access to the less salty variety mostly found in many wet markets in Philippines, you can skip this step).
  2. Rinse tomatoes and remove the core. Chop into chunks.
  3. Peel garlic and onions. Then thinly slice onion and mince the garlic.
  4. Heat skillet or cooking pot over medium high heat. Add oil and sauté onions and garlic till onions are translucent and garlic has browned a little, about 2-3 minutes.
  5. Throw in tomatoes and sauté until slightly limp, about 3 minutes.
  6. Season with ⅛ tsp ground black pepper.
  7. Add water and stir.
  8. Submerge salted dried fish into the pot, arranging them in layers that allow the liquid to touch the fish.
  9. Bring pot to a boil. Once boiling, turn down heat to medium low and simmer for 15 minutes until the sauce has reduced.
  10. Transfer to a serving platter and garnish with chopped green onions on top.
