    TingAling, this was one of the first dishes I learned how to cook, when I was about 10 or 11. It's a really easy dish to make when you are just learning how to cook. You can't mess it up!

    Hi Sis! I thought you were the domestic diva? ;=) You can do this, it's practically as easy as Ramen noodles! Luv U!

    JMom, you are a Ramen noodle fan too??? I have always been and my love for it is inherited by my kids as well (kasama na ang stepdaughter ko, say mo!). Despite the warnings about MSG, I can't help it. My intuition tells me as long as I control the use of the flavoring, I should not be bothered. I have not experienced the "adverse effects" claimed by "studies" anyway (which I think is a multivariate analysis and is such, cannot be traced to this single ingredient), and up to now, my BP is good, despite having had instant noodles almost everyday when I was a clerk/intern during medical studies.

    Manang, we are definitely Ramen fans at our house! My girls grew up eating it, so far no ill effects yet :) They are just a little weird at times, but I think that is a congenital defect. Hehe! From having too much Ramen noodles in vitro :=0

    Do you know, I have a Filipina friend who even uses Ramen noodles for pansit when she is out of bihon? Not bad, either.
