Boneless Milkfish with Tofu and Vegetable Lumpia Recipe



Long time ago Carmina use to cook a lot being independent picking what dishes you wanted to make into a meal.

There is no rule how you can make a dish when passion comes to your cooking. The free of picking the right ingredients and what is season what makes a dish easy.

We go based on what is on sale and in season because this is our way being practical. 

Sometimes when we enter inside the grocery store, we have our written grocery list. Often, we walk around finding random vegetables that wasn't on our list. When the item is on sale we tend to grab and make something a part of our meal.

Some people say not to shop when feeling hungry because we'll begin to grab unnecessary items that wasn't necessary. 

Coming home unpacking what we have purchase begin to think ahead what we want to make a meal. The ideas begin endless not sure what dishes we want to cook. 

Majority of our ingredients can be cooked so many ways.

Today, I will be using boneless belly bangus milk fish with tofu and mixed vegetables. 


Bangus is milkfish often can be used for soup, fried or grilled depending how you want to use it.
