Local Solomon Islands cooking: Slippery Cabbage with baked Ngalinut 🇸🇧

Preheat the oven to 375°F.

Clean and gut the ngalinut, then place it in a baking dish.

Season the fish with salt, black pepper, and soy sauce.

Bake the ngalinut for 25-30 minutes until cooked through.

While the fish is baking, heat vegetable oil in a large pot over medium heat.

Add minced garlic, chopped onion, and grated ginger; sauté until fragrant.

Stir in chopped tomatoes and cook until softened, about 5 minutes.

Add sliced carrots and cook for another 3-4 minutes.

Incorporate chopped cabbage and stir well to combine.

Pour in water and add bay leaves; cover and simmer for 10-15 minutes until cabbage is tender.

Remove the lid and cook for an additional 5 minutes to reduce excess liquid.

Adjust seasoning with salt and black pepper to taste.

Serve the slippery cabbage alongside the baked ngalinut, garnished with chopped green onions.
