VICTORIAS FOODS RECIPE : Misua Sardine with Bokchoy and Patola

Miswa and sardines are a classic combo. Most Filipinos have grown up with this comfort food which until now is part of their childhood gastronomic memories.

But it is mostly "sardines in tomato sauce" that forms part of these taste memories.  So how about a little tweak to this comfort food recipe a bit and making it more relevant to the taste of the new generation...

Victorias Foods Corporation is partnering with Chef Tope Arañador, a young and contemporary Ilonggo chef/owner of PUNOT Restaurant.

With this partnership, VFC and Chef Tope has created 15 recipes using Victorias Foods signature products - Spanish Style Bangus and Sardines in Soya Oil.

And just in time for the Lenten celebrations, here's the another recipe created by Chef Tope using Victorias Hot Sardines in Soya Oil

Ingredients

3 cans Victorias Hot Sardines in Soya Oil, drained

6 cloves garlic

1 red onion, small

5-6 pcs bokchoy leaves

1 pc patola, peeled and sliced

1 tbsp fish sauce

150g misua noodles

1 tsp black pepper, freshly ground

1 tsp salt

4 cups water

1 tbsp chopped spring onions for garnish

1 tbsp fried garlic for garnish

Procedure

1. In a soup pot, add oil then sauté garlic and onions.

2. Add the drained Victorias Hot Sardines and then cook for a couple of minutes.

3. Pour the water and add the patola. Bring to a boil then simmer in low heat for 5 minutes.

4. Add the bokchoy leaves and misua and continue to simmer for two minutes.

5. Season with fish sauce and freshly ground black pepper.

6. Garnish with green onion leaves and fried garlic before serving.

The use of non-tomato based sardines for a misua soup is something new and really brings this classic Pinoy comfort food to the next level. Try it!
