Fresh Homemade-Sardines, Anyone?


Canned sardines are delicious. Hmmm…yummy! We can take it with rice or toasted bread for breakfast or lunch. Mom used to keep some cans of sardines in our old refrigerator in case one of her children asked for sandwiches.

But over time, canned sardines nowadays don’t taste the same as it used to be nearly two decades ago. Perhaps the manufacturers have put more MSG and preservatives into the cans to have them last longer in market – who knows? And the price has tripled, too, in the course of years.

But, here’s an alternative. You can make your own sardine at home, and it will taste exactly the same as the canned ones – only much fresher, healthier and more plentiful.

What you need to do is:

  • Fry some fish – tuna or salmon will do perfect.
  • Blend together in a mixer or blender: some tomatoes, garlic, onions, a little bit of ginger, chilies, and salt (the proportion depends on your personal taste: whether you like your dish salty or spicy – or not).
  • Place the fried fish on a pyrex or china dish, and pour the sauce on top.
  • Steam for 30-45 minutes.
  • And… voilà! You just come up with your own fresh homemade-sardines!

Happy luncheon!
