Hi Anna, yes I know that soup. It’s spelled Miki after the noodles…thicker and sturdier than the mami noodles shown here…

My mom’s version is to use pre-boiled meat, usually pork, then slicing it into strips. Then you saute some garlic until light brown, add the onions, the meat, some fish sauce, the broth used to boil the meat, the veggies and then the noodles. It’s as simple as that. But you do have to find some good noodles.

Mami and miki noodles here in the Philippines are made with lye to preserve it and this gives it a very distinct taste. I remember my mom parboiling her noodles to lessen that lye flavor. These days, that strong flavor is not so bad…

Hi,
This looks absolutely delicious!
Thinking of this soup reminds me of the soup my grandmother used to make…her own twist of Chicken noodle soup…it was called Mickey…do you know it?

If only I can remember how to make it!

I like my noodles to have a bite too

Now you got me craving some soup! Unfortunately, i can’t get this type of noodles here – i’ve looked already for the same purpose, noodle soup. Sigh.

I have to stop looking at the photo before i start to lick the screen! lol!
