Mom's Recipe: Dalagang Bukid Escabeche

i have been making my escabeche with carrots -- like sweet and sour meatballs! but making meatballs itself takes a longer time. so i might as well share you the recipe of the one i made last weekend. you need:

6 pcs medium dalagang bukid, seasoned with salt, then fried.
1/4 k. shredded papaya
minced garlic
minced onion
minced ginger

after frying the fish, set it aside and saute the garlic, onion and ginger then put the papaya and cook it for five minutes.

for the sweet and sour sauce, mix the following in a cup:

1/2 cup vinegar
1/2 cup water
3 tbsp of sugar
1 tsp of salt

after 5 minutes that the papaya is cooking, put the sweet and sour mixture in and simmer it for another 5 minutes. then put the fish inside.

makes 6 servings.
