Heartfelt thanks to Ms Chikiamco's recipe, with a bit of substitution from misua to sotanghon. This soup dish is a hands-on adventure for kids and adults alike, specially molding chicken balls. Great for rainy days.

Best time to prepare this dish: midnight. Serve hot for lunch and dinner. It's worth the wait! 😋

In a mixing bowl, combine ground chicken, finely dried (and "twisted" in a garlic twist) carrots, onions, egg and flour. Season with salt and pepper.

Scoop a generous helping of 1 Tbsp of the mixture and shape into balls (around 1 inch in diameter). Place formed chicken balls on a chopping board lined with wax paper. Set aside.
3

Pre-soak the sotanghon for 10 minutes in a separate pot of newly boiled water, then drain. Set aside.

In a stockpot, bring 12 cups of water to a boil.
5

Add the prepared chicken balls.
6

Lower heat and simmer chicken balls for 10~12 minutes, or until almost fully cooked.
7

Add the chicken broth and carrots, followed by sotanghon.
8

Season with fish sauce (patis).
9

Let simmer around 2~3 minutes until sotanghon noodles are slightly tender (do not overcook).
10

Stir in chopped spring onion if desired (optional) and heat through. Serve hot.
11

To extend a serving, add Meiji Crackers, Realemon and Maggi Savor. Delicious!

My maternal grandfather, a professional photographer, always encouraged family to learn to cook for oneself, but it was one of my aunts, a pianist, who taught me how to steam rice and gifted me my first cookbook. I've merged cooking and photography to showcase dishes that have inspired my kitchen. Grateful to all cooks in theirs. 💙🐇
