Sinigang na Bangus Recipe

Whether you are in the Philippines or in other parts of the world, Bangus will certainly be a fish of choice for dish with soap (such as sinigang) and for a fried one.   What most pinoys love about this fish is its belly especially if the fish is marinated in vinegar overnight and later fried.

Having said that, making sinigang out of Bangus is also a great choice of dish to cook today.  I like using kangkong leaves or sometimes malungay leaves for my veges. For the tamarind, it is always best to use the original tamarind fruit, but in our recipe we will be using a powder pack one.
