Binukadkad na Maya Maya, Sweet and Sour Style
Binukadkad na Maya Maya, Sweet and Sour Style. One of the more popular fried fish served on most Filipino restaurants is the Binukadkad na Tilapia. The butterflied fried tilapia is fried with or without starch coating, served with a dipping sauce or salsa.

Today I tried to make a different approach to the binukadkad na isda fish dish. Instead of using tilapia I level it up using a beautiful red maya maya, and also instead of serving in a dipping sauce my Binukadkad na Maya Maya is served with a Sweet and Sour Sauce. The result is our very own innovative Binukadkad na Maya Maya, Sweet and Sour Style dish. Making the sweet and sour sauce is no different from the sweet and sour sauce of our Sweet and Sour Maya Maya, it is basically similar except perhaps of some variation of the ingredients. If you have your own sweet and sour recipe, go ahead use it.

The only hard part is deep frying the fish, in the sense that i have to use a lot of cooking oil. For my Binukadkad na Maya Maya, Sweet and Sour Style I used an electric deep fryer. I have to literally fold curve the fish to fit into the fryer.

Here is the recipe of my Binukadkad na Maya Maya, Sweet and Sour Style.

Ingredients:

1 medium size maya-maya
1 small can sliced pineapple, cut into pieces, reserve syrup
2-3 thumb size ginger, skinned, cut into thin strips
