Sizzling Bangus Sisig
Ingredients
For Marinating:
- 2 pcs. large bangus
- Salt and pepper
For Frying:
- Oil, for frying
For the Sisig:
- 4 Tbsps. unsalted butter
- ½ cup white onion, chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 pcs. green chili, chopped
- 2 pcs. red chili, chopped
- 2 Tbsps. Maggi Savor
- ½ cup mayonnaise
- 3 Tbsps. soy sauce
- 3 Tbsps. calamansi juice
- Black pepper, to taste
Garnish:

- Chopped green chili

Instructions
- Marinate the bangus. In a baking dish, add the vinegar, garlic, black pepper, and salt. Mix it all together, then place the bangus in and coat it in the marinade. Make sure to marinate it ahead of time, at least 1 hour before or overnight.
- After it has finished marinating, let the excess vinegar drip off.
- In a pan, heat the oil. Fry the bangus skin-side down. Be careful of the oil splatters. Once one side has turned brown and crisp, flip the bangus. When the bangus has become crispy on both sides, chop it up into smaller pieces. Transfer the chopped pieces into a bowl. Repeat until all the bangus has been fried and chopped.
- Dice the white onion. Chop the green and red chilies. Pour it into the bowl with the chopped bangus. Toss. Add mayonnaise. Mix.
- Season with south sauce, liquid seasoning, and calamansi juice. Mix it all together.
- In the sisig plate, melt the butter. Pour the sisig mixture in. Garnish with onion, red chili, and calamansi.
Listen to the relaxing sizzle of the sizzling plate as it holds the perfectly cooked Sizzling Bangus Sisig that could feed both you and your loved ones if you have enough bangus.
