How to cook milkfish | Daing na Bangus | Quick and Easy Recipe | The Kit...

Daing na bangus is a Filipino dish using the National Fish "Bangus" milkfish. This is a quick and easy to follow recipe. Marinated milkfish is best when the fish is fresh. You might want to go for a boneless bangus or have the fish deboned by the fish vendor. The one near me didnt offer deboning services but you can ask if they do it for a cost. Bangus is notorious with its hundreds of fine bones. Daing na Bangus: 1 milkfish 8 calamanci (key lime) or 1 lemon 6Tablespoons soysauce 4 crushed garlic freshly ground pepper Marinate the fish for 30 minutes, and shallow fry the fish in a preheated pan. Cover to avoid splatters and the fish will cook on its own moisture and marinade. Serve with your favorite salad and rice.

Chicken Halang-halang | Spicy and Creamy Chicken | A Visayan Delicacy | ...


Chicken Halang-halang is a popular dish in the Visayas region of the Philippines. Traditionally made with Manok Bisaya (Native Chicken) cooked in coconut milk and cream. Green papaya is added to tenderize the meat, this also adds a subtle taste to the dish. Halang means spicy in Bisaya, therefore this dish calls for spicy chilis including its leaves, the chili leaves are not spicy but it adds another layer of subtle flavor, texture and color to the dish. Tanlad (Lemon grass) and ginger highlights a background flavor of this special dish. If using a native chicken, it will take a while to tenderize the chicken, therefore cooking it with papaya serves the purpose of cooking the chicken quicker, also do not add water right away to the chicken, just let it simmer on its own meat does the trick of cutting the time of cooking. Chicken Halang-halang Ingredients: 2 lbs. Chicken Lemon gras ginger garlic onion chili leaves Chili 1 whole green papaya Coconut milk Coconut cream Sautee garlic and onions until fragrant, add ginger, chicken, green papaya, lemon grass stalks, and let it juices of the chicken simmer on its own. Add coconut milk, let it simmer until tender, add the lemon grass leaves and let it simmer for few more minutes. Add coconut cream. Lastly add chili leaves. Put off the flame and let the chili leaves cook with the pot covered. Serve with rice or maize.

I like the Hyderabadi style of Biryani, very aromatic, spicy and full of flavors. For this recipe, i have to substitute Ghee with butter as Ghee is not available here. As per the proportion of the spices, please refer to the video. This will vary according to your preference. Chicken Biryani Recipe Ingredients: 1 kg Chicken (Drumstick or Thigh) 500 g.
