Sarciado - Sarciadong Isda

Fish in Sauteed Tomato with Eggs


Sarciadong Isda is a pretty simple dish to make.

It is basically fried fish in a sauteed tomato, and topped with beaten egg.

Fish is first fried before adding on a sauteed garlic, onion and tomato.

The last ingredient to go in is the beaten egg, and remember:do not stir!

It is important not to stir the egg once poured so it doesn't break down and appear unappetizing.

An option to use is fish fillets instead of bone-in fish slices.

Just dredge the fillet in all-purpose flour, shake off the excess flour and brown for just couple minutes on both sides in a hot pan with little oil.

Try not to overcook as they will either fall apart or get tough and dry.

BENG'S TIPS

  • When choosing fish, try to get the kind that doesn't have a lot of fish bones - it's quite hard to pick bones with all the tomatoes, onions and egg on the sauce.
  • After adding the egg, add some water if the sauce runs dry. The egg could absorb all the liquid and dry out the sauce.
