Ingredients

  • 1 pound boneless bangus belly
  • 2 tablespoons canola oil
  • 1 onion, peeled and sliced thinly
  • 3 cloves garlic, peeled and minced
  • 1 thumb-size ginger, peeled and julienned
  • 1 tablespoon sauteed shrimp paste
  • 1 cup coconut milk
  • 4 Thai chili peppers, stemmed and chopped
  • 1 pound green beans, ends trimmed and sliced thinly
  • salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  • Using a sharp knife, gently remove the fish skin and discard. Chop the flesh, removing and discarding any stray bones.
  • In a pan over medium heat, heat oil. Add onions, garlic, and ginger and cook until softened.
  • Add shrimp paste and cook for about 30 seconds.
  • Add coconut milk and chili peppers and cook for about 1 to 2 minutes or until slightly thickened.
  • Add fish and cook for about 2 to 3 minutes or until color changes.
  • Add green beans and continue to cook until vegetables are tender yet crisp, fish is cooked through, and the sauce is reduced.
  • Season with salt and pepper to taste. Serve hot.

Notes

  • To easily cut the green beans, bundle and line up several pieces on the cutting board, trim off the stems, and slice into the desired length all at once.
  • For a smooth, creamy sauce, cook the coconut milk low and slow. Do not allow to boil as it might separate or curdle.
