Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
- In a large pan, heat the cooking oil over medium heat.
- Sauté the minced garlic and chopped onion until fragrant and translucent.
- Add the ground pork to the pan and cook until it is browned and cooked through.
- Stir in the diced carrots, potatoes, and bell pepper. Add the soy sauce, lemon juice, salt, and pepper. Cook for about 5 minutes or until the vegetables are tender, stirring occasionally.
- Remove the mixture from heat and let it cool slightly.
- Carefully stuff the deboned milkfish with the pork and vegetable mixture, ensuring it's well-packed. Secure the opening of the fish with toothpicks or kitchen twine to keep the filling intact.

- Once done, remove from the oven and let it rest for a few minutes before slicing.

Tips
- For added flavor, consider adding chopped green onions or herbs like parsley or cilantro to the stuffing.
- You can substitute ground pork with ground chicken or turkey for a lighter option.
- Experiment with other vegetables such as peas or corn for added sweetness and texture.
