One of the influences my brother's girlfriend has something to do about cooking. We are Ilocano, while my brother's girlfriend is from Mindanao, so dishes and ways to prepare foods were at times different from one another. She taught this dish to my brother, and it has been a great alternative to just eating fish sinigang or fish paksiw.
I asked brother if I could prepare the dish, and from the girlfriend, the recipe is now passed on to me. =)
Cooking the dish was very simple. In a pot, just combine sliced onions, tomatoes, cut up spring onions, crushed ginger root, and chili fingers. Add enough water and season it according to your taste. I am more accustomed in using salt than the fish sauce (patis), so it's what I always use. Anyway, once it's all ready, just bring it to a boil then add the fish. You can use any kind of fish, but for this dish I used this one - I don't know what's it called, but it's not galunggong. Well, maybe a distant relative. =) When the fish is nearly cooked, add the cabbage and simmer to cook. It was that easy!
I like the blend of the ingredients in this dish. The ginger gives it a different flavor, and the cabbage is just perfect to add a different taste to the dish.

it's almost like Sinigang, pero siguro ibang style, but i love fish,kahit anong luto,kahit anong klase. :)
Right now I am thinking of what to eat, then I came across your post and got me hungry for fish. I think tuna in the can is in order. Ang layo kasi namin sa dagat. They look very yummy.
Kanamit!
That's how Visayans say angsarap :)
Ganyan din ang version namin ng tinowa sa Capiz, pero instead of cabbage e talbos ng kamote ang nilalagay namin. Ooh-la-la, sarap ng sabaw.
