Miswa with Okra and Egg Soup

One of the fastest and easiest hunger-buster are those instant noodles wherein you'll just boil the noodles in water then add seasoning... hungry no more!



But most of the time I tweak this instant recipe by making adding things I can find in the cupboard and fridge. Thus this instant and favorite recipe of mine was born.

 And most of time I do this "no-cook". I just pour hot water (from the electric kettle) over the instant noodles (and its seasoning mix), miswa and fresh egg and let it cook for 4-5 minutes.



While waiting, I slice the okra then place it in the microwave for 2 minutes. When its done I just add the okra over the noodles. I just add more ground black pepper and finally drizzle it with sesame oil.

But you can do this the old-fashioned way - boil water in pan, cook noodles add seasoning and mix other ingredients.
Ingredients
  • 2 packs instant noodles
  • 5 pcs okra, each sliced into 4-5 cuts depending on the size
  • 1 "bundle" or small pack miswa
  • 3-4 cups water
  • 1 fresh egg
  •  Pepper to taste
  • Sesame oil, optional
How to make Miswa with Okra and Egg Soup
  1. In a pan, bring water to a boil then add okra. Simmer for 2-3 minutes until okra is cooked.
  2. Add instant noodles and its seasoning. To lessen the guilt, I only use 1 pack of seasoning instead of two.
  3. After 1-2 minute/s add miswa and simmer for another minute of two.
  4. Remove from heat and crack fresh egg and mix.
  5. Drizzle with sesame oil and sprinkle some pepper. Serve hot. 
You can double or triple this recipe if you will be making a large batch. This recipe can serve 2 pax but in my case, I can finish this alone.


You can also tweak this recipe by adding other vegggies like cabbage, carrots, etc and some fish or squid balls. Add some crunch with Kropeck and chicharon too! I also love adding some toasted kalkag or dried alamang.

I am also looking forward for a "HongKong style: where in I will add ham slices, canned sausages, cabbage, etc. Will try to add some cheese too!

 Enjoy your experiment!

Valenciana

Ilonggos really love valenciana because most if not all have grown accustomed of having it in almost all occasions like fiesta, brithdays, reunions and all other occasions thus I love calling it as the "occasional dish".   Basically, " go, grow and glow " dish, it has the carbohydrates, protein and vitamins and minerals in just one spoonful. And it can come in its simplest form with just malagkit rice, pork, chorizo and bell peppers to some fancy with additions like raisins, peas, chicken, hardboiled egg (just garnish though), etc.  Here's the recipe for Valenciana Ingredients 3 cups Glutinous Rice ( malagkit ) 2 cups Pork, sliced 1 cup Pork, Beef or Chicken  Liver, sliced 2-3 pieces Chinese sausage, sliced 2-3 large red bell peppers, sliced lengthwise 1 cup Green Peas 3 small boxes Raisins 2 pcs.Onion, chopped 4 cloves garlic, crushed salt and ground pepper to taste  2 pcs. pork/chicken bouillon/broth cube

Native Bibingka

There are two types of bingka I've grown up with. First is the flat and "coconutty" ( with lots of buko strips) bingka made famous by the bingkahans in the plazas of Iloilo City especially in Molo and Jaro plus Plaza Libertad. But the most famous is the one in Mohon, Arevalo which gave birth to the popular bingka sa Mohon. Flat bingka from Mohon And second is the one closer to home, in my hometown which before only appears during Semana Santa but now almost year round. This is what we refer to a puto-bingka as it looks and taste like toasted puto. Here's a sample recipe of this Puto-Bingka

Laswa

Mention laswa  and a merry mix of vegetables would come to mind. This is a perfect "realization" of the Filipino folk song "Bahay Kubo" which narrates an abundance of vegetables beside the traditional Filipino hut. Laswa has no definite list of ingredients nor way or cooking as it is just "stewing" available vegetables, not only from the garden, but what's inside your fridge or you bought from the market. It ranges from the simple all vegetable dish to ones having seafood like shrimps, crabs and more. But in the end it all boils ( pun intended ) down to what you prefer at the same time, what is available. Here's a simple recipe for Laswa
