Ginataang Tulingan recipe

GINATAANG TULINGAN

Whenever I pass to some karinderyas as I walk home, ginataang tulingan is one common dish from them all. But I am so sorry to these karinderyas because my mom makes the best ginataang tulingan at our place.

Tulingan is a very popular fish in my hometown, Batangas. You get a really big piece for your money’s worth. Here in our place, no tulingan is wasted. Just like a pokemon, it evolves. Tulingan is commonly first cooked as sinaing na tulingan. Salty, yes, but everyone really love it. When one wants to recook the sinaing na tulingan, it evolves into fried tulingan. For the second time that the tulingan will be recooked, it will evolved, finally, to ginataang tulingan. It’s a cycle many Batanguenos do. Somehow it became a tradition.

Sorry to sinaing and fried tulingan but the ginataan version of the tulingan is my favorite. Fish really does go well with cream or gata. The sauce of the ginataang tulingan enhances the flavor of the fish and compliments it with some rich creaminess. Some people I know uses heavy cream instead of the coconut cream but I prefer the one with the coconut cream, and that’s what will I share with you in this recipe. Another added points to this ginataang tulingan is that it ensures my vegetable intake. Ginataang tulingan is not complete without the eggplant but it really goes well with most of the vegetables.

How to cook Ginataang Tulingan

HOW TO COOK GINATAANG TULINGAN

Dealing with fish recipes is actually not complicated than when you first imagine it. Grab you tulingan, clean the body and remove the gills. Do not forget to bend and pull the fish’s tail. For some reasons, some people have an allergic reaction to it. Score the body so that the fish can absorb more of the flavor later. A lot of fish are slighltly bland. But it is good since it can be a good blank canvass to a variety of wonderful dishes. What we are going to do now is to layer different flavors to the fish.

First, we are going to simmer the fish with just the aromatics and some vinegar. The vinegar helps with getting rid of the fishy smell of the fish. Next, add the coconut milk and just let it cook without a cover. The eggplant and chillies are added last since it cooks fast. When the eggplants are cooked, you are nearly done! Just wait a little for the oil from the coconut oil to come out, then yum! You can now enjoy your spicy and creamy ginataang tulingan! Serve it with hot rice and enjoy!
