TILAPIA SISIG

No actual research was conducted but we all know it deep inside our hearts. Sisig may not be the best ulam, but sisig is definitely the best pulutan.

Sisig is a dish traditionally made using mixed pig parts which are usually seasoned with calamansi, onions and chili peppers. Modern versions of sisig uses grilled pork liempo which are chopped into tiny pieces and are seasoned with the classic ingredients. There are a lot of version of sisig using different types of meat but pork sisig may be the most famous type of sisig. This is why sisig is associated to be too fatty, oily and generally unhealthy.

To still enjoy eating sisig as an ulam, appetizer or a pulutan and get rid of the unhealthyness at the same time, all we needed to do is to choose better ingredient alternatives.  With that, fish sisig is becoming more popular. Fish sisig is composed of flaked fish meat, either grilled or fried, which are seasoned with the classic sisig ingredients. It follows everything about the classi sisig except that it uses a less fatty and more nutrient-rich meat.

For the fish sisig, you can try a wide range of fish based on your preference. In this recipe, I used tilapia for my sisig since it is affordable and has a good amount of meat to it. This tilapia sisig recipe is a healthy alternative to the unhealthy sisig which lets you enjoy you sisig just the way you want it. Sounds like unli rice later, huh?

HOW TO COOK TILAPIA SISIG

Making tilapia sisig is easier than other sisig types. Since fish meat is faster to cook and more prone to burning, we will only fry the tilapia instead of grilling them. After seasoning the fish, start the tilapia sisig by frying the fish and flaking it into small pieces. The next steps would involve sautéing the tilapia flakes and making it tasty by adding different seasonings, mayonnaise and calamansi juice. You may also add crushed chicharon for some crunch.

When everything is well-combined, it is now time to transfer the tilapia sisig into the sizzling plate. For a more aromatic sizzling experience, melt some butter in the sizzling plate and let the tilapia sisig sizzle in the butter. Add your preferred toppings and we recommend the following: chopped onions, chillies and crushed chicharon. Yum! Some sisig I know adds a raw egg in the middle which cooks when the sisig is mixed. You can try that too!

Serve the tilapia sisig with hot steaming rice or you can enjoy it as a pulutan. Enjoy!
