SINAING NA TULINGAN SA GATA
Sinaing na Tulingan sa Gata is one of many Lutong Bahay Recipe. Lutong Bahay is a dish that you don’t normally find served at the restaurant but it’s rather just homemade dishes.
I honestly thought this dish is quite complicated to make but found out that this is one of the easiest recipe that anyone can make.
The only difficult part of this recipe is cleaning the fish but I always make sure I ask the seller to clean and prepare it for sinaing and they will surely do it all for you. However, for those that the only option is frozen, I always half-thaw frozen tulingan by soaking them in warm water for about 15 mins and while the innards are still frozen, slice down the belly and remove gills and frozen innards. I just found it easier and less bloody using this way. But the best and easiest way that I just found out recently is to ask hubby to do this procedure for you.
This dish is so delicious and it’s also considered very healthy as it’s a natural source of omega 3.
