Sinigang Na Isda sa Miso

Among the many Filipino fish dishes, Sinigang na Isda (Fish in Sour Broth) is  my daughters? second favorite next to Cardillong Isda. Last night, I cooked Sinigang na Pompano sa Miso (Pompano in Sour Broth with Soybean Paste), and again, Clarise and Cherlin ate more than usual.

This is another very-easy-to-cook and healthy dish. The flavor of all the ingredients  combined together makes this dish a truly comforting food! It?s really worth a try!
