Tocho Recipe

bangus-entochoIn between blogging, I do check my Facebook account. No playing of games though. LOL! Just recently, I just read Kaje post re her search for Tocho recipe. Hmm… This got me curious. What’s Tocho? Thanks to the Internet (like Kaje who is also grateful for technology), I quickly found it and learned that it’s a Filipino dish with milkfish (or bangus) as it’s main ingredient. It looks easy to prepare and sumptuous too! I should try this one of these days.


Anyways, here are the ingredients and instructions on how to prepare this dish.

Ingredients:
1 kg bangus sliced diagonally

  • 3 tbsp MAGGI Savor, Classic
  • cooking oil for deep-frying
  • 4 pcs tokwa, cut into cubes
  • 1/4 cup sliced ginger strips
  • 6 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 medium onion, minced
  • 4 cups minced tomatoes
  • 1/3 cup tahure
  • 1 cup water
  • 1 pc 11g MAGGI Shrimp Broth Cube
  • 2 tbsp tausi (black beans)
  • 1/4 cup vinegar

  • Procedure:
    • Marinate bangus in MAGGI Savor for about 10 min.

    • Pan-fry in hot oil until browned. Set aside.

    • In the same pan, fry tokwa until golden.

    • Set aside.

    • Leave 2 tbsp oil and saute the ginger, garlic, onion, and tomatoes.

    • Meanwhile, in a bowl, combine tahure, water and MAGGI Shrimp Broth Cube.

    • Pour into the sauteed mixture.

    • Simmer for 5 min.

    • Stir in tausi and vinegar.

    • Simmer without stirring for 10 min.

    • Add in fried bangus and tokwa.

    • Serve hot.
