Pansit Miki Bihon

Somehow I'm not good with the measurements of this dish.

miki (I used two packs bought from the grocery)
bihon (the entire pack was divided into four portions of bihon. I used the three portions)
1 tbsp, chopped garlic
1 onion, sliced
chicken (I used one chicken breast and 2 pieces chicken thigh), boiled and broth set aside
liver, about 250 grams
2 medium-sized carrots, julienne cut
chicharo
cabbage, julienne cut
soy sauce and oyster sauce to season
kintsay

1. Saute garlic and onion.

2. Add the flaked chicken and sliced liver. Saute for about 5 minutes.

3. Add the vegetables in this sequence with about 2 minutes interval per sequence: carrots, chicharo and cabbage.

4. Add the chicken broth. Season with soy sauce and oyster sauce. Allow to boil.

5. Season with pepper. Adjust as necessary.

6. Add the bihon first. After about 5 minutes, add the miki noodles. Allow the noodles to absorb the liquid.

7. Garnish with the kintsay when done.

Menudo

750 grams of pork
500 grams of pork liver
1 tbsp, chopped garlic
1 onion, sliced
1 tbsp vinegar
3 tbsp soy sauce
1 small pack of tomato sauce
3 potatoes, cubed
1 medium-s1zed carrot, cubed
raisins

1. In a small amount of oil, saute the onion and then the garlic.

2. Put the pork cubes. Cook for about several minutes (about 15 minutes). Allow the pork to release its water content.

3. When the pork has changed its color, put the liver. Allow to cook for additional 10 minutes.

4. Put the vinegar and soy sauce. Allow the vinegar to evaporate. Season too with pepper.

5. Put the tomato sauce and enough water to simmer the beef into. Simmer over low heat. Rough estimate is 30 minutes.

6. Put the potatoes, carrots and raisins in the mixture. Simmer for additional 15 minutes.

7. Taste and adjust as necessary.
