Ingredients

1 lb boneless milkfish (not marinated), sliced

1 medium sayote, peeled and sliced

1–2 cups bokchoy

A pinch of salt

4–5 cups water

Instructions

1. Start with the sayote

2. Bring 4–5 cups of water to a gentle boil. Add the sliced sayote first. It needs about 10 minutes to soften.

3. Add the milkfish

4. Once the sayote is almost tender, gently place the boneless milkfish into the pot. Let it simmer until the fish turns opaque and flakes easily.

5. Add the bokchoy

6. Stir in the bokchoy last. Let it wilt for 1–2 minutes.

7. Season lightly

8. Add a pinch of salt — just enough to bring out the natural flavors.

9. Serve warm

10. Enjoy as is, or pair with a small scoop of rice if your stomach allows.
