Miswa Soup

Miswa is one of the easiest noodles to cook with. In fact, it's like having an instant noodle with just a different look and without the seasoning that comes with it. Making dishes involving miswa is just limited by one's imagination as there are as many as the strands of noodles in a pack of miswa. One of the easiest and yummiest is Miswa with Sauteed Sardinas and my on the spot - Miswa with Okra and Egg Noodle Soup. The popular Lapaz Batchoy even has a Miswa Batchoy! And here's another simple miswa recipe that is just as delicious.
Here's a simple Miswa Soup recipe


Ingredients
  • 100 grams miswa, adjustable
  • 1 cup ground pork or chicken strips
  • 1 medium carrot, strips
  • 1 medium cabbage, strips
  • 1 onion, sliced
  • 6 cloves garlic, chopped
  • 1 egg, beaten
  • Chicken/Pork stock or bouillon/seasoning cubes
  • Salt and pepper
  • Water
  • Oil
How to make Miswa Soup
  1. In a pan, saute onions and garlic. Set aside half as toppings
  2. Add pork/chicken and fry until cooked.
  3. Place carrots and cabbage and stir fry for 1-2 minutes.
  4. Add soup stock or water with bouillon cubes. 
  5. Bring to a boil then add miswa. 
  6. Mix until miswa is cooked. Make final flavour adjustments with salt and pepper. You may also add water if the ratio of the miswa and the broth makes the soup a bit dry.
  7. Turn off heat and add beaten egg.
  8. Top with onions/garlic and drizzle with sesame oil if desired.

As always, the measurements are just guides. Usually, I just adjust everything during the cooking process as well as the final flavours. You can also add any vegetable you may want. Just enjoy cooking and eating miswa!

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...

Simple Pochero Ilonggo

POCHERO. The most familiar recipes are the ones stewed with tomatoes (or tomato sauce) or the Cebu variant which is like bulalo or nilaga, but the pochero I grew up with is just very simple. It's just pork cooked with potatoes and/or saba (cooking banana) with kamote tops or pechay. I just love the mild sweetness of the broth brought about by the bananas to the savory broth. Or sometimes, it tends lean more of the tomato based recipe, just without the tomato itself or sauce. The recipe is just very simple - just boil the pork first until tender. Add the "hard" veggies like potatoes, saba, carrots, etc then finally when the leafy veggies when its almost done. Just season it with salt or broth cubes for a savory broth.

Pork Sarciado

This savory and delicious combination of pork ang vegetables is always an extra rice magnet. Much more so if drizzled with hot sauce, a personal favorite. A much simpler version of Pork Menudo, the only difference is the absence of tomato sauce. Just some bread crumbs to thicken the sauce. No need for fancy ingredients either, to give its Spanish origins a gastronomic salute but just in its simplest form, it could already be a hunger satisfier. Now let's begin...
