Baon Recipes: A Fish Recipe and a Beef Recipe

As a mother, I am meticulous about the food my children eat. So, normally I personally prepare their baon (packed lunch) for school.

However, I don't like sending them baon (packed meal) out of what we have for breakfast. Thus, I always have freshly cooked dish for them everyday.

Of course, the same dish becomes our lunch at home. That saves me time for other things that need to be done in the house since the lunch dish is already cooked early in the morning.

Here are two recipes which I found in a magazine way back in 2000. My kids like them that they have become "regulars" in our menu whether for baon (packed meal) or for regular meal.

BANGUS ALA POBRE

4 pcs Bangus, daing style cut 1 1/2 tbsps Steak Sauce/ Knorr seasoning

Feel free to add/minus the seasonings according to your taste. For the worcestershire sauce, choose the best brand that you can afford. Quality matters.

Enjoy!
