Often, my mom cooked this for special family get-togethers. This recipe can be served in this amount or doubled if expecting guests. The base of this noodle dish is a saute of garlic, onions, celery flavored with patis (fish sauce) and calamansi, the Filipino lime. There is much versatility to this savory, filling meal. One can add or substitute chicken, shrimps and even tofu to the dish. Vegetables are limitless, too. Add vegetables in season if you prefer. I try to cook this dish as close to the recipe my mom used to make with hearty beef meatballs, crisp sitsaro (snow peas) and the silky sotanghon transparent noodles we love.]]> https://thequirinokitchen.com/mothers-philippine-recipes-make-sotanghon-noodles-bola-bola/feed/ 0 6649
