Ingredients:

- 1 can (14 oz) of black beans (tausi), drained and rinsed

- 1 onion, chopped
- 2 tomatoes, diced
- 1 cup of water
- 2 tablespoons of cooking oil
- 1 tablespoon of fish sauce
- Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions:
- Begin by rinsing the milkfish and patting them dry. In a shallow dish, place some flour and season it with salt and pepper to your liking. Gently coat the milkfish with the flour until they are lightly coated.
- In a pan over medium heat, heat about an inch of oil. Carefully add the milkfish and cook, turning occasionally, until both sides achieve a light, golden brown color. Remove the fish from the pan and let them drain on paper towels.
- In the same pan over medium heat, add approximately one tablespoon of oil. Introduce the onions, garlic, and ginger, and sauté until they become fragrant.
- Now, add the diced tomatoes to the pan and cook, occasionally mashing them with the back of a spoon until they soften.
- Pour in the fish sauce and continue to cook for about a minute. Following this, add water and allow it to come to a simmer.
- Incorporate the black beans into the mixture and continue to cook for 3 to 5 minutes or until the liquid has slightly reduced.
- Gently introduce the fried fish into the pan and cook for an additional 3 to 5 minutes, ensuring they are fully cooked and evenly coated with the sauce.
- Finally, season the dish with salt and pepper according to your preference. Serve it while hot and enjoy the delightful flavors of Bangus sa Tausi!
