Century Tuna Sisig
Servings: 3
Ingredients
- 2 cans 185g Century Tuna
- 1 whole Red Onion
- 1/2 size White Onion
- 1 tbsp Oyster sauce
- 1 piece Mayonnaise
- 1 piece Egg
- 1 piece Lemon
- 1/2 piece Lemon, thinly sliced
- Butter
- Gratecheddar cheese
- Salt
- Pepper
- Chilli (optional)
Instructions
- Let’s start by straining the Century Tuna sisig to separate the oil from the meat itself. As we wait for that to completely drain, let’s start prepping the rest of our ingredients starting with the one medium-sized red onion and half of the white onion finely diced. We also cut half of a lemon into thin strips and set them aside for later.
- In a hot pan, put oil and pan-fry the tuna flakes for 2 to 3 minutes until all the liquid from the meat is gone. Transfer it into a bowl and mix all your ingredients: the red and white onion and lemon slices. Then, add your 1 tsp. oyster sauce and the juice of one whole lemon. This will give the meat that classic sisig flavor while removing the gaminess of the fish.
- Mix all ingredients and add salt and pepper to taste. You also need to add mayonnaise for added flavor. Now, heat the sizzling plate or a small castiron pan if you don’t have one, and add a small piece of butter to melt.
- Once fully melted, add your tuna sisig mix and stir well to incorporate all the flavors. Let the mixture sit in the sizzling plate over the fire for about 2 to3 minutes under medium heat before adding one egg, another classic sisig ingredient.
- Once the egg is cooked, you can add your grated cheese and turn the heat off to avoid burning your sisig mixture. You also have the option to add chilis if you like some heat in your sisig.
