Ingredients

  • 3 ¼ pounds whole milkfish (bangus)
  • 1 eggplant, cut into chunks
  • 1 onion, diced
  • 1 (2 inch) piece ginger, thinly sliced crosswise, or to taste
  • 2 large green chile peppers, chopped
  • 1 teaspoon salt to taste
  • 1 cup water
  • ¾ cup vinegar
  • 1 green bell pepper, cut into chunks
  • 1 small bitter melon, cut into chunks

Directions

Step 1
Remove scales, gills, and guts from the fish. Rinse and cut crosswise into 3 steak pieces. Pat dry.

Step 2
Arrange eggplant, onion, and ginger in the bottom of a 1 1/2-quart pot. Place fish on top. Add green chiles and sprinkle with salt.

Step 3
Pour water and vinegar into the pot with the fish. Bring to a boil. Boil for 5 minutes; reduce heat and simmer until fish flakes easily with a fork, about 20 minutes. Add green bell pepper and bitter melon. Cook until bitter melon is soft to the touch, about 10 minutes more.
