A native Filipino delicacy from Pangasinan and Pampangga provinces.

This is usually used in Chinese and Japanese cuisines which is available in Asian stores. Since this ingredient is not easily found and available in local wet markets, you can substitute it with food coloring since the main purpose of this red rice is for coloring dishes, just like achuete or annatto seeds.   How to Make Burong Dalag (Fermented Mudfish)   Print Prep time Cook time Total time   Author: Manny Recipe type: Fish recipe Cuisine: Filipino Serves: 8 servings Ingredients 1 large mudfish (dalag) ⅔ cup salt 3 cups cooked rice 1 Tbsp. angkak ( fermented red yeast rice ) Instructions How to cook Burong Dalag Scrape scales of fish.
