Ginisang Sardinas (Sauteed Sardines)

Oh how I love canned sardines. It's my favorite canned good! I love it straight from the can, poured over white,  hot steamed rice with the squeeze of some calamansi juice or sauteed for additional flavor. It's easy and does not require a lot of time. It's a nice dish whenever you're busy. Plus the fact that sardines is healthy! For the recipe, please see below:
