A healthy Filipino meal

  1. I made a MD compatible Filipino meal that I thought I should share.

    Bangus (aka milkfish) “a la pobre” with wholegrain red rice and steamed pak choi.

    Red rice and pak choi are self explanatory, but to make the bangus, I just brushed it with oil, and seasoned and air fried at 200C for 15 mins. Meanwhile, I fried 8 cloves of garlic in a bit of cold pressed rapeseed oil, removed once crispy, and then fried a red onion in the same garlic infused oil. I then added 1/4 soy sauce, 1/4 water, 1 tablespoon oyster sauce, 3 tablespoons of lime juice (would be calamansi in the Philippines but I can’t really get calamansi here) and 1 teaspoon of brown sugar and let is simmer for 5 minutes before thickening with cornstarch. I served it all with the crispy garlic sprinkled on top.

    A very simple but satisfying meal.
