Bangus sardines in tomato sauce
Go to page 1 2 »»
My second bangus sardines recipe. This time with tomato sauce, olive oil and lots of spices.

A pressure cooker will be necessary, definitely.
Buy the smallest bangus you can find–no more than six inches long from head to tail. Ask the vendor to gut the fish and remove the gills, but not to remove the scales.
I bought a kilo of bangus this size for PhP 50.00 (about US$ 0.90) at the local wet market yesterday.

hi connie,
paano kung walang pressure cooker, mayroon ba tayong alternative.
I tried simmering the bangus the oridnary way but the flesh disintegrates before the bones soften.
Hi Connie,
How do I avoid the bangus from its skin sticking at the bottom of the pressure cooker?
I have tried it several times but presentation wise, it doesn’t look as enticing since I cannot get the whole fish out of the pressure cooker.
Thanks.
Issa, try thinning the sauce by adding more water. From experience, the fish sticks to the bottom if 1) there is too little oil; 2) too little liquid; or 3) both.
great, martin!
susubukan ko pa lang ito kasi nagluto kami last week di namin masyadoong nagustuhan kasi madaming sabaw kaya naghanap ako ng recipe sa internet para sure na masarap.
masarap nga! finally kahapon nakapagluto na ako, hinintay kong kumpleto kaming lahat at tamang tama may time para mamalengke at magluto.nagustuhan ng 6 years old kong apo
Thanks for the recipe! My ailing mom-in-law loved it. Food is osterized for her, but she insisted that she eats it as it is served. She even asked to leave some for her breakfast the next day.
Actually I’ve had a number of attempts to perfect the texture – that is firm flesh but with soft bones. This time I was able to do it well with your instructions. The other recipes I used, gave me fried bangus in a pressure cooker – not so appealing. I also used the advice of a friend to rub salt on the fish and let it stand for at least 30mins before cooking it.

PROBLEM WITH SKIN STICKING AT THE BOTTOM?
I’ve tried this before and it worked for me. I laid wooden chopsticks at the bottom and placed the bangus on top of it and the fish came out whole and I was able to get them out easily.
I have my own version without the tomatoe sauce but lots of spices. I used sweet paprika, bay leaves, pepper, carrots and tausi. I will try your recipe this weekend. Nice blog.
