Deep-Fried Filipino Sardines with Black Bean Sauce, Full of Bold Savoury Flavour555 Sardines with Tausi is a distinctly different take on canned sardines, and that difference starts with how the fish is prepared. Rather than being packed raw and cooked in oil or tomato, these sardines are deep-fried first, giving them a firmer, slightly crisper texture that holds up beautifully in the tin. They are then seasoned with special spices and finished with tausi, the fermented black bean sauce that is a cornerstone of Filipino and Chinese-influenced cooking. The result is a tin packed with umami richness, a touch of saltiness and a depth of flavour you simply do not get from standard sardine products. This 155g tin is a firm favourite among fans of Filipino food in the UK, and is just as popular with anyone who enjoys bold, sauce-forward canned seafood from Asia. How to Serve 555 Tausi Sardines for a Satisfying Everyday MealThe most popular way to enjoy this tin is the simplest: heat the contents in a small pan, spoon over a generous mound of steamed rice and eat straight away. The black bean sauce loosens slightly with heat and coats the fish beautifully, making every mouthful deeply savoury and satisfying. For a more complete dish, fry off some garlic and onion first, then add the sardines and a splash of water to thin the sauce slightly. Sliced chilli or a squeeze of calamansi juice lifts the whole thing nicely. You can also stir the flaked fish through fried rice or use it as a filling for a savoury omelette. Browse rice to find the right base, and pick up Asian sauces and condiments to round out your pantry for more Filipino-style meals.
