Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 whole bangus (milkfish)
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons cooking oil
- 1 large, finely chopped onion
- 3 cloves, minced garlic
- 2 pieces, chopped red chili peppers
- 3 tablespoons soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons calamansi juice
- 2 tablespoons mayonnaise
- 2 tablespoons, chopped green onions
- 1 whole egg
- 1 tablespoon butter
Instructions
Preheat your grill or stove to medium heat.
Season the bangus fillets with salt and black pepper on both sides.
Grill the bangus fillets for about 10-12 minutes on each side or until the fish is cooked through and skin is slightly crispy.
Once done, remove from the grill and set aside to cool slightly. Flake the fish meat into tiny pieces, making sure to remove any bones.
In a large skillet, heat the cooking oil over medium heat.
Add the finely chopped onions and minced garlic, sauté until the onions become translucent and fragrant.
Stir in the chopped red chili peppers and continue to stir-fry for another 1-2 minutes.
Add the flaked bangus to the skillet, mix well, and cook for another 3-4 minutes.
Pour the soy sauce and calamansi juice over the fish mixture, stir to combine and let it cook for another 2 minutes.
Fold in the mayonnaise until everything is well coated and mixed thoroughly.
In the same skillet, create a small well in the center of the mixture and crack the egg in. Allow the egg to cook through, then scramble it gently within the mixture.
In a separate pan, melt the butter and pour in your prepared bangus sisig mixture.
Cook on a sizzling platter for a few minutes until steaming hot.
Sprinkle with chopped green onions before serving hot and enjoy!
