Squash Blossoms Inabraw with Fried Milkfish

I love squash blossoms and milkfish (bangus) is my all-time favorite fish.

The dish also contains long string beans (sitaw) with its young tops included, saluyot, and broiled milkfish (inihaw na bangus). Inabraw is an Ilocano way of cooking veggie with fermented fish paste (bagoong isda) without any sauteing as opposed to pinakbet.

Mangantayon!
Now you know how to say eat well in Iloco

Togue

“Togue” as we call bean sprouts in Tagalog. The mung bean sprouts are particularly my favorite. It’s the main ingredient for the lumpia (spring rolls)

That was my initial plan but end up with this

The reason is that I didn’t have the wrappers so I will just do it some other day when I find where to buy it here in Madrid or perhaps learn how to make it.

Recipe: Stir-fried Mung Bean Sprouts

Heat the wok or pan and the oil. Saute 2 gloves of garlic and a pinch of chopped ginger.
Throw in all the vegetables and the soy sauce.
Season with salt & pepper.

Serve it with fried fish and steamed rice.

P.S. I saved and planted the seeds hoping it will grow. Just hoping…
