6 Five-Spice Tilapia Recipe   

You can definitely just season whole fish with salt and ground pepper but if you have other ingredients, we think you can level up your simple fried fish with an extra ingredient or two. For this recipe, five is the magic number, as in five-spice powder. This combination of spices, usually cinnamon, cloves, fennel, star anise, and the spicy Szechwan peppercorns, is mild but delivers a powerful package of flavor in each pinch you use. So, go sparingly and even just a few pinches are enough to transform your simple fried fish into one that tastes more delicious.

8  Spicy Ginataang Hipon Recipe 

Hipon or shrimps can be a luxury so we think it's just right that you allow its flavors to be enhanced by the ingredients you add to the dish. Coconut milk and shrimps are a fantastic combination already but if you like your food with a little heat, that addition to the party in your bowl will make you need some unli rice to go with it.
