Thanks to our neighbor, they gave us fresh "dilis", this is popular fish in the Philippines. These small fish that Filipinos call dilis has the scientific name Stolephorus Commersonii, and are usually caught in large groups that is called school of fish.
Dried dilis are a great snack, but others also make this as soup, broths and other dishes. What I make today for our lunch is fried dilis with egg mixture. This is just a 1-2-3 steps recipe. See my simple recipe below.
Ingredients:
1 cup Dilis
2 cloves garlic--chopped
1 whole onion--chopped
1 tomato-- chopped
salt and pepper to taste
1 tbsp cornstarch
1 pc egg
oil for frying
Procedures:
1. I cut the heads of dilis, so that it will be easy for my kids to eat. Combine the ingredients except the oil. Beat until well combined.
2. Heat the frying pan with enough oil, and using a ladle, carefully put the mixture on the pan. Wait for the other side to golden brown before flipping them. Make this one by one so that it will not overcrowd the pan. It will make easy for you to flip them up. Cook the other side for 2-3 minutes.
3. Serve with steamed rice and soup. Vinegar with garlic is the best dipping sauce for this. Try this one.
