Cooking Paksiw na Tilapia (Fish Simmered with Vinegar and Spices) F...

As the cook in the house, I find it challenging to decide what recipe to use and what ingredients my mother bought. Sometimes, I just base my decisions on the situation or whether I already cooked this recipe a few days ago.

My whole family has colds and coughs right now. I am the only one not infected, so I feel like I am going next, LOL. Maybe I will cook a recipe that will help them, or maybe not. Based on what I believe, Vinegar can help thin mucus that causes colds, and I guess that is how it is. It is true, though, and adding spicy chili powder makes it extra effective.

What I am going to cook today is called Paksiw na Tilapia mainly cooked with vinegar, garlic, onion, ginger, and green chili we don't have stock in the fridge for a moment it is better to add one or two.

Ingredients I Used:

6 Tilapia
1 tbsp.Cooking Oil
1 tsp. Ground Pepper
7 Galic Clove
1 medium Red Onion
1 medium Ginger

2 tbsp. Fish Sauce
2 cups of Water
half cup White Vinegar
1 tsp. Magic Sarap Seasoning
1 tsp. Rock Salt
half tsp. Chili Powder

Cooking Time!

In a hot pan, I added 1 tablespoon of cooking oil.

When the oil was hot enough, I added aromatics like garlic, red onion, and ginger. And I sautee them for a minute or until the fragrance of aromatics comes out.

After sauteing the aromatics, I added 1 tablespoon of fish sauce for extra flavor. Let the fish sauce cook for a second.

After I added the fish sauce, I then added 2 cups of water to the pan. And I let it boil before adding something in.

When the water started boiling I added a half cup of white vinegar, I used white vinegar because it gave like sour and sweet taste to the fish which I liked.
