Tinolang Bangus is a delicious Filipino soup recipe; it is a hearty ginger soup composed of bangus (milkfish) and vegetables such as chayote, hot pepper leaves, and malunggay leaves. This is best eaten with white rice along with a spicy fish sauce dip.

Tinolang-Bangus-recipe 

For this tinolang bangus recipe, I used fresh medium to large sized milkfish. It was able to get a nice fresh piece of bangus down south in Niles, Illinois when I did my weekly Filipino ingredient shopping. I thought of making a soup out of that fish, and here it is now. I was also able to get fresh frozen malunggay and hot pepper leaves during that trip, and lots of other Filipino ingredients – not bad for a 70-mile grocery round trip.

I like bangus belly a lot; I think that the taste of the belly was made better by the ginger broth because it does not taste that fishy and the aftertaste was not that strong. I enjoyed eating this tinolang bangus, as much as I enjoyed cooking it. I hope that you do too.

Try this Tinolang Bangus Recipe. Enjoy!
