Рецепт Escabecheng Maya-Maya (Sweet Sour Red Snapper)
A delightfully tasty sweet and sour fish. This recipe I have here is fried maya-maya or red snapper fish poured with sweet and sour sauce and garnished with vegetables. Cooking this sweet sour fish is easy and ingredients are simple and can be bought readily in supermarkets. But one ingredient that might not always available is the green or unripe papaya which makes this a unique Filipino escabeche dish. Aside from the usual sliced carrots, bell peppers, onion and ginger, this sweet sour fish is added with grated green papaya which reminds me of atchara, a sweet sour relish made from grated unripe papaya.
