Try this hearty breakfast — savory bangus, garlicky rice, and a sunny-side-up egg!
Bangus
Bangus, or milkfish, is one of Southeast Asia’s most celebrated fish. Its tender, flaky flesh makes it flavorful and easy to cook, much like barramundi or snapper. A staple in Filipino kitchens for generations, bangus is now ready to brighten tables around the world.
You’ll need:
1 Masarap Marinated Baby Milkfish
1 tbsp oil
1 cup cooked rice (preferably day-old)
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 egg
Salt & pepper, to taste
Optional
Sliced Tomatoes
Cucumber
Calamansi Wedges
How to make it:
Pan-fry the bangus:
Heat oil in a skillet over medium heat.
Remove the marinated fillet from packaging and pan-fry for 3–4 minutes per side until golden and cooked through.
Make garlic rice:
In another pan, sauté minced garlic in a little oil until fragrant.
Add the cooked rice and stir-fry until heated through. Season with salt and pepper.
Fry the egg: In a small pan, cook the egg sunny-side-up or to your preference.
Plate and serve:
Serve the bangus with garlic rice and the fried egg on the side.
Optional: garnish with sliced tomatoes, cucumber, or a wedge of calamansi for a traditional touch.
Masarap Tip: Dip the fish in a spiced vinegar mix made of vinegar and chili.
