Bagis

I needed another dish for our food this week and I decided to cook up Bagis.  Bagis is ground beef cooked in calamansi (Philippine lime).  I’m trying to plan my dishes wherein I can eat it up since I’m having a hard time eating due to my dental braces.

It’s very easy to cook bagis since there are only a few ingredients and all you need to do is fry and simmer.  I also love the sour and spicy taste due to the calamansi and thai chili peppers.  I tend to like my dish more spicy thus I put more chilies than usual.
