point. Bring to a boil over low
heat. Add the crushed garlic
cloves. Let it simmer for a couple of
minutes. Add the saluyot leaves. Cover the
pot and let the mixture simmer over low flame.
Once the leaves are half-cooked, add one to two tablespoons of cane
vinegar. Do not stir. Cover the pot and simmer for five to ten
minutes. Stir the mixture. Balance the acidity of the vinegar with the
saltiness of the fish paste by adjusting the two ingredients if needed. Once satisfied, continue cooking the mixture uncovered
until almost dry.
