So today, nagluto po tayo ng Sarciadong Mackerel dahil hindi masyadong uso ang Tilapya rito at hindi pa rin ako nakakakita ng Galunggong.

Una, ihanda ang ingredients:

1. Isdang tinanggalan ng hasang at laman loob, nilagyan ng pampalasang Magic Sarap. Lol. Minimal lang.

2. 6 na hindi masyadong malaking Kamatis (inuna ko na yung mga kulubot na nasa fridge namin)

3. Isang Buong Bawang - dikdikin

4. 3/4 na Sibuyas - gayatin

5. 2 Itlog - batihin

6. Asin - iready mo lang

7. Paminta - iready mo lang rin

8. Tubig - same as above

9. Saktong dami lang ng Cooking Oil pang gisa at pang prito ng isda

Pangalawa, simulan na ang pagluluto.

1. Igisa ang bawang at sibuyas. Dito ko nadiskubre na dapat talagang unahin ang bawang sa pag gigisa dahil ang hirap na nyang lutuin kapag inuna mo yung sibuyas. Selosa pala, lol. Mahina lang dapat yung apoy sa pag gigisa at ang bilis masunog ng bawang. Kalmahan mo lang. Kapag malapit na mag golden brown yung bawang, tska mo ilagay yung sibuyas.

2. Isama mo na sa gisa yung kamatis kapag parang luto na yung sibuyas. Pakatasin mo yung kamatis. Wag kang papayag na hindi sya kakatas bcos gHorL, walang sense yung sarciado kung buo pa yung kamatis sa dulo.

3. Kapag balat na lang yung nakikita sa kamatis mo kasi nakakatas na sya, lagyan mo na ng tubig. Yung tamang dami lang ng tubig. Sabi ko naman sa previous recipe ko hindi ako palasukag kaya tanchahin mo na lang. Basta tandaan mo, ang sarciado ay sarsa, hindi sabaw kaya wag ka masyadong maglagay ng maraming tubig at baka magmukhang aquarium yung putahe mo.

4. Hayaan mo lang munang kumulo yung tubig. For the mean time, prituhun mo na yung isdang may Magic Sarap na pampalasa. Lol.

5. Pagkakulo nung sarsa, timplahan mo na yung sarsa ng asin at paminta. Hindi ako masyadong fan ng Magic Sarap or ng betsin sa mga may sabaw/sarsa na lutuin. Naniniwala akong kapag masarap yung gisa mo, swak na yun. Tska tamang timpla ng paminta at asin.

5. Kapag nakuha mo na ang tamang timpla, pakuluin mo lang ulit ng bahagya tapos ilagay mo na yung itlog. Haluin mo lng then ok na yun.

Samahan mo na lang rin ng dasal at konting pagmamahal para mas masarap yung luto mo. Mag smile ka habang nagluluto para good vibes lang. Ramdam kasi ng bawang, sibuyas, at kamatis kapag hindi ka masaya. Ok?

Ayusin mo na lang rin ang presentation para kahit hindi masyadong masarap yung luto mo, at least pwede mo syang ipang-instagram. Lol.

Share ko lang how I made this fried chicken because I felt deprived of ingredients but still happy on how it turned out. 😅

I marinated the chicken in soy sauce and lime - 500g chicken, 3 medium sized lime cut into half and juiced into the chicken, soy sauce est. 1/2 cup

Kept it in the fridge (not freezer because we don't want it to be frozen and be watery when the ice melts)

Let it stay there for 2 days HAHAH 🙈

Prepare the breading: All purpose flour, a little bit of salt, and a little bit of paprika -- sorry, I hate measuring so I just estimate everything I put. Of course, the all purpose flour is the greatest of all those three

Literally shake the chicken in the breading making sure that it is completely covered (you will use a covered container in doing this so you can shake hehe)

We're going to do deep frying so make sure you have enough amount of cooking oil for this act (LOL), I used vegetable oil as if it's going to make fried foods a little lethal..char

Heat the oil making sure it's extremely hot so that your breading will not separate with the chicken.

Once you see that the breading has stick to the chicken, you can now lower down your heat to medium ❤

I think the chicken is already cooked in 20mins, medium heat.

Enjoy!

A colleague taught me how to check if the chicken is already cooked on the inside: poke the chicken with a fork and if the oil didn't react, it's cooked. Hahaha. You know, if the oil doesn't make this loud noise, something like that. That's it. Stay tuned for more cooking tips by tine. 😂✌

Ps. When I told you I hate measuring, I really do. I tried baking a banana cake:
