Tinolang Lapu-lapu

Here is another recipe that I would like to share with you. I cooked this for lunch today. It is very easy to prepare. My wife loves to eat any soup recipe. Since I was off for work today, I thought of preparing this for my wife since she has only few minutes to stay home for lunch. .

Tinolang Lapu-lapu (red groper fish) is a very nutritious clear fish broth. Tinolang lapu-lapu serves best when it is still hot and the fish belongs from the freshest catch of the day. Aside from the terrific taste and aromatic smell, the dish has plenty of nutrients and vitamins that we can get from it which would play a vital role to our body.

Ingredients:

1/2 kilo of Lapu-lapu fish
8 pcs of spring onion
3 pcs of lemon grass
ginger (optional)
2 medium size tomato
1 small size patola (lufa sponge gourd)

Procedure:

Clean the fish. In a pot bring to a boil 6 cups of water, add spring onion and tomato (you can also add tanglad and ginger if available) then simmer for 3 to 5 minutes. Add in the fish and continue to simmer for 5- 8 minutes in medium heat. Season it with salt to taste and magic sarap seasoning (if available). Add 1/2 teaspoon of monosodium glutamate Cook until fish is already cooked. Serving is good for 4 persons.
