Bangus Sisig Recipe: milkfish with onions & calamansi juice
Sisig is definitely one of Pinoy’s favorite dish or mostly eaten as “Pulutan” for drinking sprees and different kind of occasions.
We have a lot of Sisig varieties and the most common of it is the sizzling “Pork Sisig” but some of us tried to avoid eating this type of sisig as much as possible because the primary ingredient is pork which is high in cholesterol.
Fortunately, we can still enjoy our sisig without so much fat-like substance by using Bangus. This Bangus Sisig recipe is easy to cook and very scrumptious to eat.
Normally, the milkfish come steamed or fried then debone and flake marinade with soy sauce, vinegar, sugar, salt, and pepper and can be prepared and served in a warm plate if a sizzling plate is not available.
