With the remaining kilo or so of dried fish, we decided to make a "sarciadong daing" which is basically fried dried fish braised with a sweetish sour sauce. There is another post in the archives with a similar recipe, but here are the basics again, in case you were wondering. Start by frying up some good meaty daing or dried fish, but leave it a bit moist, not totally crisp and dry...]]> http://www.marketmanila.com/archives/sarciadong-daing-na-lapu-lapu/feed 34 http://www.marketmanila.com/archives/daing-fried-rice-stir-fried-rice-with-dried-grouper http://www.marketmanila.com/archives/daing-fried-rice-stir-fried-rice-with-dried-grouper#comments Sun, 04 Oct 2009 00:49:36 +0000 Marketman http://www.marketmanila.com/?p=8560 It's been THAT kind of week. And for me, comfort food is the easy, temporary palliative for the blahs. And there are few dishes more comforting for many Filipinos than fried dried fish. In the tropics, and among large archipelagos, dried fish is one of the most basic and reliable sources of protein. It is simple to make, relies on readily available ingredients such as freshly caught fish and salt from the sea, and only requires a day or two of hot sun and a gentle breeze to manufacture. Then it can keeps for months on end. You have to admit, it can sound and smell a bit bizarre. You cut open a nice fish and remove its guts, then cover it with lots of salt, leave it outdoors to slightly decay and dry out, and occasionally rely on an errant maggot or two to help the decaying process and flavor enhancement. The end product possesses one of the most pungent food smells known to man, which is magnified to "code 9 level" when the fish is fried. :) But if you grew up with it, you probably love dried fish like I do. And besides, ever wonder how you would describe the manufacture of blue cheese? Heehee.
