Рецепт Spicy Salmon Belly and Kangkong Soup
In the Philippines fish bellies are the most sought after part in a fish. When a whole fish is served this is the first part that will definitely be devoured, before the head and the body. Hence a lot of dishes there nowadays uses only this part, bangus belly sisig, bangus belly steaks and tuna belly adobo to name a few.
Today we will be adding another recipe to that but instead of using tuna or bangus (milkfish) we will be using one of my favourite fishes, salmon. This Spicy Salmon Belly and Kangkong Soup is a simple soup with sour and spicy notes from Sriracha sauce, ginger and limes. The kangkong leaves also added another dimension in texture which perfectly complements the soft tender salmon meat. You can enjoy this on its own or with freshly cooked jasmine rice.
