  1. You know what I use instead of the hard to find miso? The tahina/hommos paste in the can which works and tastes just the same. Try it the next time you cook Sinigang sa Miso and let me know how you find it.

  4. I just made pesang isda for the first time but for the sarsang miso, I used chick peas and navy combined. It was my first time so maybe next time I will use strictly chick peas only.
