Otherwise, a fresh bangus may be used.
You may wonder or question if canned tuna would be good, and it'd be a matter of personal preference, but I recommend canned bangus if it's available. The tuna would probably bring a different taste.
The dish is a slightly lighter version of the more indulgent one made of pork, of which I have prepared and served on many occasions. The pork sisig is commonly composed of pig's ears, head, and cheeks - simply its mask. I remember incorporating its brains to the dish as well for it adds a bit of richness and a mystifying level of enhancement to the dish that my Restobar patrons would come back for.
The bangus sisig recipe primarily makes use of a few chicken gizzards and liver, tofu and squid among other ingredients. The pork sisig required a bit of preparation - boiling, broiling, and grilling, unlike this bangus sisig that's uncomplicated, simple, and easy.
You'll need:
About a cup of chicken gizzards, slice
About a cup of chicken liver, minced
Squid, medium sized, diced
2 blocks firm tofu, diced
about a cup or more of cooked bangus
1/4 cup bell pepper, diced
1/2 cup white onion, diced or julienned, separated (for cooking and garnishing)
1 tbsp. celery
1 tbsp chili (adjust to spice preference)
2 tbsp garlic, minced
1/4 cup vinegar
1/4 cup oyster sauce
1 tbsp sesame oil
2 tbsp onion leaves, separated (for cooking and garnishing)
Instructions:
1. Slice everything up and have your mise en place ready. Onions, garlic, celery, bell peppers, chili and onion leaves cut and sliced. Tofu and meats cut. All liquids measured.
2. On preheated pan, start with onions and season them lightly with salt, followed by the garlic, the celery, chili and 1tbsp of onion leaves, then the gizzards (this takes a bit of time to cook), add a bit of sesame oil
3. Once gizzards slightly cook, add the liver and let brown. Add the squid (this quickly cooks) and add the rest of the ingredients, bell pepper, bangus, tofu
4. Turn heat off after a quick stir-fry, about 3-5 minutes.
5. Serve and enjoy!
