I love this fish by the name of Gallungong ( Mackerel ). I think it is also known as GG here in the Philippines. This fish is quite common and I think is the lesser expensive fish compared to other fishes like Bangus or Grouper ( Lapu Lapu ). I loved to deep fry the GG with turmeric powder and then make some variation of sauces. Today I will share with you my recipe for Fried GG with spicy sauce.
INGREDIENTS :-
- 4 pieces of Gallungong ( Mackerel )
- 2 onions
- 2 cloves of garlic
- turmeric powder and salt
- Maggi chili sauce

- Sugar ( 2 teaspoon )
PREPARATION :-
- Clean fish and marinate it with salt and turmeric powder
- Deep fry fish till really crunchy and set aside
- Slice onions thinly into half moon shape
- Crush garlic and take out skin

COOKING :-
- Heat up 5 tablespoon of cooking oil
- Sauteed garlic
- Add onions ( half, the other half is for garnishing )
- Add in crush chili
- Add 5 spoonful of Maggi Chili sauce
- Add the tamarind juice
- Add water and keep stirring
- Add sugar
- Add a little salt to taste ( not too much as fish already marinated with salt )
