Day 7: Gisadong Pechay at Tokwa and Piniritong Galungong

Say what you want about Galunggong, that it's the poor man's fish, etc., but it's my favorite fish! It has no pretenses and for which, it's popularity crosses class lines. I especially love eating the small-sized galunggong that's perfect for fying. I just season the fish with rock salt and a little bit of pepper and fry it crisp. Galungong is actually good with gisadong monggo but we didn't have any mung beans in the pantry so I made gisadong pechay at tokwa.

The gisadong pechay at tokwa is also easy to make. Fry about 200 grams of firm tofu or tokwa till they brown; remove the tokwa pieces from the pan. Slice the tokwa into strips. Saute' three (3) cloves of chopped native garlic and an onion till they turn translucent. Add a diced medium potato, a cup of water, patis and pepper to taste. When the potatoes are done, return the tokwa and add 1/3 kilo of chopped pechay. Adjust the seasonings and simmer till done.
