The dish known as odong is a soup composed of canned sardines in tomato sauce, flour noodles (known as odong), and vegetables such as loofah or bottle gourd. This is a budget friendly and easy to prepare dish. Odong is popular in central and southern parts of the Philippines.

odong noodles with sardines recipe

The noodles can be purchased in supermarkets within Metro Manila. In most parts of Visayas and Mindanao, the noodles are sold in retail in sari-sari stores. I found it hard to find Odong noodles here in the US, so I used Japanese Udon noodles as an alternative ingredient. Although the appearance is different, the taste is pretty much the same.

This dish is usually eaten with rice, even if it already has noodles in it. I usually use a lot of garlic when I make it. The taste and aroma of the garlic balances the fishy flavor of the dish.

Try this Odong Recipe. Let me know what you think.
