Clean and gut the dalagang bukid, then pat dry with paper towels.

Season the fish with salt and pepper, then coat lightly with cornstarch.

Heat vegetable oil in a large frying pan over medium heat until shimmering.

Fry the fish until golden brown on both sides, about 3-4 minutes per side, then remove and drain on paper towels.

In the same pan, sauté garlic, onion, and ginger until fragrant, about 2-3 minutes.

Add sliced carrots and bell peppers, cooking until slightly tender, about 3-4 minutes.

Stir in sugar, vinegar, soy sauce, and water, then bring to a simmer.

Add bay leaves and return the fried fish to the pan, spooning sauce over the top.

Simmer for 5-7 minutes to allow flavors to meld and fish to absorb sauce.

Garnish with chopped green onions before serving.
