Aside from regularly checking out www.yummy.ph, this month’s Yummy Magazine issue is one of my favorite as it featured “easy to cook” dishes.
Lazy as I am, I found a truly easy one in the “Quick and Easy” section – Tinapa Rice with Salted Eggs and Tomatoes. I thought this would be a good one for my entry in their bloggers’ contest as well. I had one problem though, we don’t have tinapa (smoked fish) at home.
It was for Sunday dinner and I don’t have time to buy so I was forced to look for a substitute. I came up with a great idea for a substitute, Bangus – Fried Bangus!
I also consulted some friends online (specifically in social networking site Plurk) and they approved of my tinapa substitute. 🙂
And so it was. 🙂
Here are the ingredients I used as patterned from the Yummy Magazine: (for one preparation)
- Half Bangus Fish
- Cooking Oil
- Some Garlic, peeled and minced
- 1 Cup of white rice
- pinch of salt
- minute dash of pepper
- 1 red egg, peeled and sliced into eights
- 1 tomato, sliced into six
Procedure:
- Debone the Bangus and fry. Flake afterwards
- In a large wok, heat the oil and fry the garlic until lightly browned. Add the cooked rice, salt, and pepper and stir together.
- Add and mix the flaked bangus strips and stir well. Remove from the heat.
- To serve, pour the rice into a serving bowl and top with salted eggs and tomatoes
Thankfully, my cooking escapade was a success! My Tinapa Bangus Rice with Salted Eggs and Tomatoes tasted great (if not better than with tinapa). :) And that concludes My SundayYummy Adventure!
