Ingredients
- Bullet tuna
- 1 kg, cleaned and prepared
- Vinegar
- 1 cup
- Water
- 2 cups
- Garlic
- 6 cloves, minced
- Onion
- 1 medium, sliced
- Ginger
- 2 inches, sliced
- Salt
- 1 tablespoon, or to taste
- Bay leaves
- 3 leaves
- Black peppercorns
- 1 teaspoon
Instructions
- Begin by cleaning the bullet tuna: remove the scales and internal organs, then rinse under cold water and pat dry.
- In a large pot, combine the vinegar, water, minced garlic, sliced onion, sliced ginger, black peppercorns, bay leaves, and salt. Stir well and bring the mixture to a boil over medium heat.
- Once boiling, carefully add the cleaned bullet tuna to the pot. Reduce the heat to low, ensuring a gentle simmer.
- Cover the pot and let the fish simmer for about 2 hours, or until the tuna is tender and the flavors are well infused. Check occasionally and add a bit more water if necessary to prevent drying out.
- Once done, taste the broth and adjust the seasoning if needed. Serve the Sinaing na Tulingan hot, ideally with a side of steamed rice to soak up the delicious broth.
Tips
- For an added depth of flavor, you can marinate the tuna in vinegar, garlic, and spices for an hour before cooking.
- Feel free to add vegetables such as eggplant or radish during the last 30 minutes of cooking for a complete meal.
- This dish can also be enjoyed cold as a unique salad.
