Tinolang Isda Recipe


Fish soup with leafy vegetables



Tinolang Isda is the way of cooking fish soup in the Philippines. The name varies depends on what region you're in, Cebuano's or Visayan  called it Tinowang Isda or Sinabaw na Isda. 
 Cooking is so simple, fish is boiled with ginger, tomataoes, onion and seasoned it with salt and pepper. My version of Tinola is just little different from traditional one, Since, I'm using frozen fish. Although is it not as good compared to fresh fish still good enough to satisfy my craving for some Tinola. I used red snapper on this dish but you can totally used whatever fish you like.
Let's have some Tinolang Isda this week..:) C'mon let's start cooking


Ingredients:
Red Snapper fish-  used whatever fish you like
Spinach/ malunggay leaves
Ginger
Onion
Tomato
Chayote Squash- Optional
Salt and Pepper- to taste

Directions:

2.) Using same pan sautee the ginger and onion.
3.) Add water onto the pan, salt an pepper and chayote squash. Let it come up to a boil.
4.) Add the fish and spinach. Let it simmer for 3 minutes.

  23. i don't usually eat tinolang manok but i love eating tinolang pork so this is a must try since the star recipe is fish.

  24. I'm very wary about fish tinola. Some taste and smell rancid, that's why. It's really important that the fish is fresh. :)

    ReplyDelete
  25. We have tinolang isda most of the time. It's because I have a sister who breastfeeds and she needs and loves soup.
