How to cook paksiw:

Ingredients:

4 slices of fish (Or whatever you want aside from fish. Wait, may iba pa bang pinapaksiw? Oh yeah, lechon paksiw! But I cooked fish. So..)
1 cup of chopped onions
1 cup of chopped garlic
1 cup of chopped ginger
1 cup water
A dab of salt (or as desired)
1/8 cup of pepper granules
1 cup of vinegar
5 heaping cups of self-assurance
7 cups of determination
10 cups of lurve


1. Drink the 7 cups of determination.

2. Ask. If your mother and/or husband are awesome cooks, like mine are, ask them what to do. Or you can always google.

3. If frozen, defrost the fish. Duh.

4. Dump the water, garlic, onions, ginger, fish, salt and vinegar to the pan. Tak-pan. (Get it? Tak-pan? Takpan ang pan? No? Oh, well.)

5. Let it simmer. This is also about the time when you need to slurp your 5 heaping cups of self-assurance. Also, pray.

6. When you see the little bubbles it means the vinegar and water are boiling. Pahinaan ang apoy.

7. Pray. Again.

8. Once the fish looks cooked, I mean when it looks different than when you first put it into the pan (double duh) then it's already done!

9. Dab with 10 cups of lurve.

10. Serve.

What do you mean where's the picture? Of course I don't have a picture or else you will forever be discouraged to cook paksiw! Anyway, I'm really good at making pasta and sandwiches. Perhaps I can post those next time complete with pictures.
