I love boneless bangus belly, and I love teriyaki sauce on chicken and fish. So, what do I do? I put them together and end up with Bangus Belly in Teriyaki Sauce.
Chefs often use cream dory to make Fish Teriyaki. I wanted to be different, to innovate, and so I Googled and flipped pages of cookbooks, and stumbled upon this really nice teriyaki sauce recipe that was used on tofu. I experimented with it, adjusted its sweetness level to suit my preference, and poured it over pan-fried boneless bangus belly, then sprinkled sesame seeds on it.
Pure magic!
