Original recipe (1X) yields 4 servings

2 pounds whole milkfish (bangus), or more to taste
1 tomato, diced
1 onion, chopped
1 (2 inch) piece ginger, thinly sliced crosswise, or to taste, divided
salt and ground black pepper to taste
4 calamansi, juiced
½ cup soy sauce
2 cloves garlic, chopped

Directions

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Line a roasting pan with enough aluminum foil to cover the whole bangus.
Remove scales and gills from bangus. Wash the innards. Pat fish dry with a paper towel.
Mix tomato, onion, and 1/3 of the ginger together in a bowl. Season with salt and pepper. Cut open the front side of the fish and fill with the tomato mixture. Place fish in the prepared pan.
Mix calamansi juice, soy sauce, garlic, and remaining ginger in a separate bowl. Pour over the fish in the pan. Fold foil over the fish and seal all ends.
Bake in the preheated oven until fish flakes easily with a fork, about 60 minutes.

Best Cheese Dip

This cheese dip has all the best ingredients! I compiled it from various other recipes and it's my favorite by far. Serve as a dip at a party or with sour cream and jalapeños to make nachos.

Kibbee Lebanese Style

Simple Lebanese style lamb kibbee. It's a traditional basic recipe. Kibbee is to Middle Eastern cooking what a meatball is to Italian cooking. If you can not make it, stay out of the kitchen. I am not Lebanese by the way, but worked for 2 decades in a restaurant serving this type of food. I am actually Ukrainian.

Spaghetti all'Assassina (Assassin's Spaghetti)

Caramelized tomato sauce makes this a wonderfully savory dish. The reduction of the tomato broth brings out the sweetness of the tomatoes which balances well with the spiciness of the chili flakes.

Simple Banana Bread

I developed this banana bread recipe without baking soda because I had limited ingredients and wanted a bread recipe, not cake-like, while living in a 10-foot trailer. This recipe is also low in fat.

Vegan Oatmeal Cookie Bars

A sweet, chewy cookie. You and your kids can eat the delicious dough with impunity! A serious crowd pleaser, these are guaranteed to fly off bake sale tables. They're also the perfect gift to bring to new neighbors. Serve with a tall glass of vanilla soy milk.
