Step 1

Cut the onions, shallots and garlic, and set aside. Keep the onion rings together because it will be easier to fry.

Step 2

Dry the milkfish belly thoroughly, then season both sides with salt and pepper. Cut each belly into 4 pieces.

Step 3

Add oil to a pan and sear the fish belly on both sides. Do in batches if necessary. Set aside.

Step 4

In the same pan, brown the onions on both sides. Keeping them together will make it easier to flip. No worries, if they fall apart a little bit. We tried out best haha Set aside.

Step 5

Once again in the same pan, sauté the garlic until it gets slightly toasted. Add the shallots, and sauté for about a minute. Add the soda, soy sauce, miso paste, calamansi juice. Once it comes to a boil, gently add all the fish belly back in. Let it simmer for 5-8 minutes.

Step 6

Plate the fish with some sauce and the onions on top. Using a microplane, freshly grate lime rind on top of the dish. Serve warm.
