I grew up on this dish, even though I am a white girl living in the suburbs. LOL
My family was unique growing up. My mom loved to travel and she married a Philipino man as part of her travels. So naturally, we had some Philippine favorites on our dinner table. My mom taught me this recipe, and she was taught by one of the elders in my stepdad’s village.
It is really easy and SUPER tasty!
ENJOY!
