Costco - Sardines

These are the best sardines. Pour olive oil from sardine can into pan, add garlic til fragrant. Saute cut tomatoes and cook down, sliced yellow onions, add in sardines, sriracha. Serve in french bread, cucumbers, dash of black pepper.

My mom would caramelize onions and tomatoes, then add this to it. We would have it with French bread or rice. So good!

Stir fry Onions, ginger, tomatoes, then Thai chilies and sardines! Great with rice!! You ou can also add coconut milk if you want like the Indonesian way

Just had mine for lunch. Sauted in garlic, onions, cherry tomatoes in olive oil( cos that's what i have at home) and string beans. All gone in 15 mins.

I love sardines, especially this brand. We always sauté it with garlic, onions, tomatoes, fish sauce, sugar, salt, pepper, chili pepper and a small can of tomato sauce. Sometimes my husband would add mushrooms. We would eat it with baguette, cucumber and cilantro. Now I’m craving for it, will probably make it for lunch tomorrow.

Just eat on rice or crackers straight out of can

I love this brand! I just eat this brand over rice straight out of the can or on a banh baguette with Maggi sauce. 😋 There’s no bones on this brand.

Sautéed onions first until desire, put the sardines with all the olive oil in and add a couple table spoons of your favorite pasta sauce. Mix gently until warm, then serve over rice or toasted bread for open face sandwich.

I love these; they are already cooked so you can eat them right from the can.i like to put it into a bowl and throw some tomatoes and sriracha on it and mix it up. Then just put it on some bread. Nom

You don’t have to cook sardines. Make some sliced onions 🧅 and make a vinaigrette, seasoned with salt and pepper, put it on toasted bread 🥖 and the sardines, enjoy

Think of it like ... canned tuna or canned salmon. Whatever you can do with those, you can do with this. Salads, sandwiches, pizzas, with rice, in soups, in noodles, etc

Onigiri! Drained the oil. Mashup and Add Japanese mayo. Seasoned sushi rice with furikake. Add it inside your triangle or ball-shaped Onigiri!

I only buy those sardines for that purpose and my daughter loves it so much, her favorite school lunch.

* SARDINES SIMMERED IN SPICY TOMATO SAUCE - Andrea Nguyen

CA SARDINE KHO CA CHUA

I bought large sardines and the bones were not chewable. Remove them as best you can before eating. Or, simmer small fish.

Serves 4 to 6

4 large sardines (1 pound total), gutted and cleaned

1 tablespoon oil

⅓ to ½ cup chopped yellow onion or shallot

2 cloves garlic, minced

1 can whole peeled tomatoes (1 ½ cups with juice) canned peeled tomato

1 or 2 Thai or Serrano chile, split lengthwise

1 tablespoon fish sauce

Salt

½ teaspoon light brown sugar or light palm sugar

Water

Lime wedges

1. Chop the heads off the fish. Then use scissors and/or a knife to remove the fins. Cut each fish into 2 ½ to 3 inch sections. Rinse the fish well, making sure the belly is clean. Pat dry and set aside.

2. Heat the oil over medium heat in a low saucepan. Add the onion and cook, stirring, for 4 to 5 minutes until soft and fragrant. Add the garlic and cook for about 30 seconds until aromatic.

Add the tomato, chile, fish sauce, pinch of salt, and the sugar. Taste and tweak the flavors for balance of tart, salty, and sweet. Bring to a vigorous simmer and cook for 1 to 2 minutes to develop the flavor.

3. Add the fish, turning the pieces to coat in the tomato. Add enough water to just cover the fish. Cover and lower the heat to simmer for 30 minutes. Midway through, turn the fish with two spatulas or chopsticks.

4. Uncover and simmer until the tomato sauce had reduced to about half of the original volume. Turn off the heat, partially cover, and set aside to cool. Refrigerate overnight before eating. Reheat to enjoy hot or warm. If the sardines are too fishy for your palate, add a squirt of lime.
