Gising-Gising with Tinapang Bangus
Gising-gising gets its usual green beans and coconut milk base, but swaps the typical ground pork for smoky tinapang bangus instead. The smoked fish adds depth without extra prep. One pan, about 20 minutes, and it's spicy enough to live up to the "wake up, wake up" name.

Equipment
- 1 medium skillet, pan or wok
Ingredients
- 1 pound Green beans, ends trimmed and cut ¾-1 inch or sigarilyas
- 2 tablespoon avocado oil, olive oil, or similar
- 1 tablespoon Garlic, crushed
- ¾ cup Tinapang bangus, shredded
- 1 medium Onion, minced
- 1 can Coconut milk
- 1 teaspoon Beef powder
- 2 pieces Red thai- chilis
- Salt and pepper
Instructions
- Prep your vegetables: Wash and chop the green beans (or sigarilyas) into bite-sized pieces. Mince the garlic and chop the onion.
- Heat the oil: In a pot or pan over medium heat, add cooking oil.
- Sauté the aromatics: Once the oil is hot, add the chopped onion and cook until softened and translucent, about 3 minutes.
- Add the garlic and chili: Stir in the crushed garlic and chopped Thai chilis. Sauté for another minute, until fragrant.
- Coconut milk magic: Pour in the entire can of coconut milk and bring to a simmer for about 8-10 minutes. Season with beef powder, salt, and freshly ground black pepper to taste.
- Incorporate the green beans: Add the chopped green beans (or sigarilyas) to the pot and cook for 2-3 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they start to soften slightly.
- Introduce the smoky flavor: Stir in the shredded tinapang bangus and cook for another minute, allowing the flavors to meld.
- Simmer and thicken: Simmer the gising-gising for 5-7 minutes, or until the green beans are tender-crisp and the sauce has thickened slightly.
- Adjust the heat: If you prefer a milder dish, remove some of the seeds from the Thai chilis before adding them.
- Serve and enjoy: Turn off the heat and transfer the gising-gising with tinapang bangus to a serving bowl. Serve with rice.
