  • 2 pieces pompano
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 thumb-sized ginger sliced
  • 3 cloves garlic chopped
  • 1 medium onion sliced

  • 2 cups coconut milk
  • 4 to 5 green chillies
  • Fish sauce to taste
  • 1 bunch pechay or mustasa
  • Oil for frying

Instructions
 

  • Prepare the clean Pompano by giving it some slits on each side. Season with salt and pepper on both sides. Set aside for at least 15 minutes.
  • In a pan with hot oil. Fry the fish in batches, flipping until both sides are golden. Set aside.
  • In another pan, heat some oil and saute ginger for a bit. Before adding the garlic, then onions-cook until aromatic. Then add in the tomatoes, cook until soft enough to crush.
  • Pour in coconut milk and place in the green chillies. Cook at low heat until it starts boiling. Add pepper and fish sauce to taste. Cook for a few more minutes or until the sauce thickens.
  • Add in the pechay. Cook for a few minutes, just until the leaves wilt. Add back the fried fish. Cook for 3 - 5 minutes or until the sauce has reduced a bit. Enjoy!
