2 large tomatoes; sliced
1 cup jute leaves (saluyot)
1 root ginger; crushed
Bagoong isda, Fish Sauce
3 cups water


How to Cook:

  • In a casserole, bring water to boil. Add onion, ginger, and tomatoes. Let stand for 3 minutes. Season with bagoong (fish sauce) and continue boiling for 5 minutes.
  •  Remove the scum that rises on top of the liquid and then drop the milkfish. Simmer for 5 minutes, then add vegetables.
  •  Cook until vegetables are done. Adjust seasoning according to taste. Serve hot and enjoy
