My mom used to make this all the time ans she taught me how to do this.. The only difference is we put real chicken and not just the broth. If there’s no malunggay, the hot pepper leaved worked well too! White corn is hard to find here though 🙂
Spinach is the best alternative..
Ok na, thank you Mike!
Ako din. I owe this food. Kase dahil sa malunggay na to, nagiging healthy tong baby ko sa tummy ko. And it gives me a lots of milk. This week manganganak nako. And I’ll still continue to eat a food like this. ????
