How to cook it
-
Use only very fresh, sashimi-grade fish, and cut it into small cubes.
-
Toss the fish with the vinegar and salt and let it firm up and turn opaque, about 10 minutes.
-
Drain off most of the vinegar, then toss with the calamansi juice, ginger, red onion, and chilies.
-
Fold in the coconut milk for a rounder, milder finish if you like.
-
Chill briefly and serve cold as a starter or alongside grilled or fried food.
