No need to fillet Tilapia on your own. You may use frozen tilapia fillets that are available in supermarkets.

Ingredients:
  • 4 Tilapia fillets
  • 2 teaspoons salt
  • 2 teaspoons oil
  • 1 small ginger, julienned
  • 1 small onion, quartered
  • 3 cups water
  • 1 cup uncooked rice
  • 10 whole peppercorns, crushed
  • 1/2 cup sliced leeks
  • 1 small cabbage, quartered
  • 1 bunch Chinese lettuce, cut into 3-inch pieces
  • fish sauce (patis) or salt and pepper to taste
  • miso-tomato sauce

Procedure:
  1. Season the fillets with 2 teaspoons salt. Set aside.
  2. In a pan, heat the oil then saute ginger and onions. Add water, rice, and peppercorns. Bring to a boil.
  3. Add the fish fillets. Bring to a quick second boil. When rice is cooked, turn off the heat.
  4. Add leeks, cabbage, and Chinese lettuce. Season to taste.
  5. Serve hot with miso-tomato sauce.
To make Miso-Tomato Sauce: In a small skillet, heat 1 teaspoon oil and saute 1 teaspoon finely minced garlic until transparent. Stir in 1/2 cup finely minced ripe tomatoes. Cook for a minute.
