Fish fillets and togue (mung bean sprouts) stir fry

November 19, 2009 • Hello. I am currently out of the country and unable to respond to comments and e-mails. Rest assured, however, that future posts have been scheduled so new recipes will go live almost everyday during my absence. I'll be back soon with lots of stories and photos. Ciao for now! ~ Connie

Last Thursday, Alex came home with two classmates. They were going to make polvoron to sell at the school fair the following day and the day after that. I thawed a kilo of fish fillets that I planned to cook into a sweet and sour dish. The problem was that the vegetables I had in the fridge did not go with sweet and sour fish. I had some togue (mung bean sprouts), spinach and carrots, and that was it. I knew that sweet and sour dishes are very popular with kids but would Alex’s classmates shy away from togue and spinach? I really didn’t have a choice anyway so I went ahead and cooked the fish fillets and the vegetables as a stir fry. I just hoped that Alex’s love for togue would rub off on them. Well, one out of two can’t be that bad. One of the classmates ate the veggies; the other didn’t.

Fish fillet and togue (mung bean sprouts) stir fry

When cooking fish fillets for a stir fried dish, or even as a stand-alone deep fried dish, make sure that the fillets have been sufficiently blotted with absorbent kitchen paper to remove as much of the water as possible. No matter how well-prepared the coating is, if the fillets are too wet, they will still turn soggy as they cool. Worse, the cooking oil will spatter all over the stove top and surrounding areas.

    Hello Connie! I saw here your tuna and tofu with vegetables last year. I tried to cook it and include in my recipe list for my catering business. And it’s a blockbuster…they really like it. I just replace the tuna with lapu-lapu fillet.

    Thanks a lot.
