Good day!
Here is another simple dish that is very tasty and healthy that everyone should try. The dish is "Blue Scad Mackerel in Sour Soup with Sweet Potato Leaves". This dish only contains two main ingredients which are Blue Scad Mackerel and Sweet Potato Leaves.
Aside from Sweet Potato leaves other vegetables can be added to this dish like eggplant and okra but most of the time I only add Sweet Potato Leaves because it is the cheapest and it is the one that I prefer.
Also, aside from calamansi, or in the absence of calamansi, tamarind, and bilimbi can be used as an alternative to make the soup sour. This dish's cooking time is about five minutes to ten minutes. That is how fast this dish is to cook.
Most of the time this dish is cooked for lunch during cold/rainy season. Here's how to prepare and cook it.
Ingredients
- Blue Scad Mackerel (4 pieces, large)
- Calamansi Fruit (180 grams)
- Sweet Potato Leaves (30 grams)

I just washed the calamansi with water and extracted its juice
