Gather all the ingredients and prepare the spices for the recipe. Set aside.
Cut the fish pins, remove the innards, and wash the fish thoroughly.

Add salt, then put the spices over the fish, like ginger, onion, garlic, long green chili, peppercorns, and dried bay leaves.
Add the vinegar, soy sauce, or fish sauce, vegetable oil, and water.

Cover the pot and bring the liquid to a boil; flip over the fish if necessary. Reduce the heat to medium-low.
Simmer for 15 minutes or until the fish is tender enough to consume. Simmering it longer is better, especially if the tulingan fish is big.
