As you may remember, the previous week, we were hit by typhoon Kristine here in my country, the Philippines. This caused power interruption for three days and water for a week, which was not good timing as I had more than a kilo of fish in the fridge! I forgot about it in the first two days because I was stressed! I removed it from the refrigerator on the third day, and it was already defrosted! I thought of cooking it as paksiwto save it from spoiling, but the ingredients weren't complete. So, I just poured vinegar, salt, and black pepper. After, I kept it back.
The other day, when I was thinking about what to cook, I remembered that there was a lot. I took a few pieces and fried them. Somehow, they tasted better; however, there were still leftovers.
Being raised that wasting food is like a mortal sin, I resorted to recycling it into another dish!
Here is what I need.
- Onion
- Egg
- Crispy fry
Here are the steps on how I cook it.
- Remove the fish bones. It is much easier if you remove the meat directly.
- Place all the fish meat on the chopping board and chop it thinly.
- Mince would rather like to know how to do it with garlic.
- Mince one piece of onion. Then, pour it into a bowl together with the meat fish.
- Get two eggs and beat it until it was flappy.
- Pour it into the mixture and add seasonings. Salt, black pepper, crispy fry (flour), and others based on your preferences.
- Ensure to mix it thoroughly.
Heat the cooking pan and pour the oil. Then, use a spoon to place the mixture. It was necessary for me to measure the thickness. Then, form it into a circle like a patty.
- Fry until it turns golden brown.
I'm almost done with the sauce, which is perfect, as I still had some ketchup!
Now, it was ready to serve.
I was supposed to put on a smile, yet it failed! Maybe next time, I can improve it.
How about you? Do you recycle leftovers? I would be glad to read your thoughts in the comment section.

Well the last time i kept fish for myself I thought about making a dish out of it. I got lazy and they got packed away in the freezer for later. Why, I decided to go fishing again to catch even more fish 😆 Generally left overs are fun to turn into something else. I had left over ham from a dinner a week or so ago. I chopped up the ham and used them and some other things to make omelets for breakfast. I love making chili other than have a bowl after bowl for a few days I will use for fritos salad or chili dogs. 😋 It's great to use leftovers and saves a lot of money from making more trips to the super market.
As someone grow up always scarce in food wasting food in not in the vocabulary 😆. Just I can't which also the reason why I find it hard to lose weight. I would eat up all the food so it won't spoil! 😁
Luck you there is a place where you could go fishing!
Yeah perhaps you could also used that ham as toppings in a fried rice!
