Paksiw na Bangus

Pin It

One of the easiest way to cook bangus is by simply simmering it with vinegar and some other condiments that can make its flavor outstand. The process of cooking Paksiw is popularly known to us Pinoys. It can either be done with fish, pork and my personal favorite, lechon left-over. =D
