Preparation Steps

1

Heat olive oil in a pot over medium heat. Sauté onion, garlic, and ginger until fragrant.

2

Add chicken broth and bring to a simmer. In a small bowl, whisk miso paste with a ladleful of the hot broth until smooth, then stir it back into the pot.

3

Add tomatoes, radish, long beans, and okra. Simmer for about 5-7 minutes, or until vegetables are tender-crisp.

4

Gently add the bangus fillets to the pot. Cook for another 5 minutes, or until the fish is cooked through.

5

Stir in the kangkong (or other leafy greens) and cook for 1 minute until wilted.

6

Season with salt and pepper to taste. Be mindful of the saltiness from the miso.

7

Serve hot with cooked brown rice.

Managing Blood Sugar

"To further lower the GI, ensure your brown rice is cooked al dente. You can also add more non-starchy vegetables like eggplant or bitter melon for increased fiber content and a lower overall glycemic impact. Opt for high-quality, low-sodium miso paste."
