Sinigang sa Miso na Ulo ng Maya-maya (Snapper in Sour Miso Soup)

Hi! Sharing with you today another Filipino favorite food, Sinigang sa Miso na Ulo ng Maya-maya (Snapper in Sour Miso Soup.)


This is eaten with lots of rice! Sinigang or sour soup can be cooked using pork, beef, chicken or fish. Here, we use miso paste to add a different flavor to the sinigang dish. Maya-maya or Snapper is preferred by many in cooking this dish. The fish has a firm texture and white meat that is so tasty. There are different versions in cooking this. This is how I do it. :)

Ingredients:



  • 1 kilo Ulo ng Maya-maya, chopped into large cubes or chunks.(Bought this at SM supermarket. These can also be bought in the local wet markets, at a lower price. Another fish, Imelda, is often mistaken for as Maya-maya. It is cheaper. )
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced.
  • 1 medium onion, quartered.
  • 4 pieces tomatoes, quartered.
  • 1 thumb-sized ginger, cut into strips
  • half- slab of miso paste or about 1/2 cup
  • 3-4 pieces banana peppers
  • 1 radish, sliced diagonally
  • salt and pepper 
  • patis or fish sauce
  • a bunch of mustard leaves or mustasa
  • a big sachet of Sinigang mix
  • 5 cups of water
How to Cook:
  • Prepare all ingredients.
  • Heat cooking oil in pan and brown fish slices. Set aside.


  • Saute ginger, then garlic. Add onions and saute until translucent. Add and mash the tomatoes. 
  • Stir in the miso paste and continue stirring.

 
  • Then add water. Once the water boils, put the sinigang mix and stir well with the other ingredients.


  • Time to add the radish and other vegetables of your choice.

  • Once the radish is almost cooked, add in the fish chunks. Simmer.

  • Check the taste and season according to your preference.
  • Lastly, add the mustard leaves. When the leaves are cooked, turn off the heat.

  • Transfer to a serving bowl. Enjoy it while it's hot!

Mmmmmm... smells soooo good and delicious! Try it,too! I'll appreciate your feedback!
