Sotanghon Guisado

Whether a soupy dish or not, sotanghon is one of my favorite noodles to cook with. I like the texture of the noodles as well as its ability to absorb much of the flavor.

I like the Marca Pato brand here in Iloilo as it "soft and fluffy" - I don't know if these are the right words, when cooked. Nonetheless, any dish with this brand is just deliciously good.



Here's a basic recipe for a Sotanghon Guisado where you can tweak using more or less ingredients of your choice.
