Ingredients

• 0.5 kg 500g fish fillets (galunggong or tilapia) or 500g shrimp, cleaned
• 0.5 cup All-purpose flour, for dredging (if using fish)
• 3 tbsp Cooking oil
• 4 cloves Garlic, minced

Instructions

1. Season the fish or shrimp with salt and pepper. If using fish, dredge lightly in flour.
2. Heat oil in a pan and fry the fish or shrimp until just cooked and lightly golden. Set aside.
3. In the same pan, sauté garlic and onion until fragrant, then add tomatoes and cook until softened and mushy.
4. Pour in water or fish stock and bring to a simmer, mashing the tomatoes further to form a light sauce.
5. Season with fish sauce, salt, and pepper, and add peas or string beans if using, simmering for 3-4 minutes.
6. Return the fried fish or shrimp to the pan and simmer for 2-3 minutes to absorb the sauce.

8. Turn off heat once eggs are just set, and serve hot with rice.
