Start by washing the saltfish to remove excess salt.

Add the saltfish to boiling water and let it boil for 10 minutes.

Remove the water and boil the saltfish again for another 10 minutes.

After boiling, remove the water and flake the saltfish to your desired texture (coarse or fine).

Chop the onion, bell pepper, tomato, and scallions.

In a frying pan, heat 3 tablespoons of vegetable oil until hot.

Add the chopped vegetables to the hot oil and sauté for about 3 minutes.

Add the flaked saltfish to the pan and season with black pepper to taste.

Cook the mixture until the saltfish is golden brown, about 2 additional minutes, adding more oil if it dries out.

Taste the mixture to check for salt; no additional salt is needed if boiled properly.
