Spicy Misua Soup with Tuna

This is one of our random brunch menus that just came from what we had in our pantry which is based from the typical Sardines (in tomato sauce) with Misua soup dish but just a little different.

Ingredients:

• 3 tbsp cooking oil
• 1 cup chopped (red) onions
• 1 can tuna chunks in oil
• 1 pack Mama Sita's Menudo/Afritada mix
• 500 ml water
• 150-200g misua noodles
• 1 sachet of chili flakes (from your favorite pizza place)
• 2 tsp patis

Cooking instructions:

1. Heat a saucepan/kawali. Add in the oil until hot.
2. Saute onions until a bit transparent.
3. Add in the tuna chunks. Saute with the onions.
4. Add in the Mama Sita's Menudo/Afritada mix.
5. Add in the water and let it boil until the mix is fully dissolved.
6. Sprinkle the chili flakes, and add the patis. Mix in and let the soup boil for another minute.
7. Add in the misua noodles. Mix it in with a fork to separate the strands.
8. Boil the soup until the misua noodles are fully cooked.
9. Serve hot with rice (yeah, for intense carbo loading).

Additional notes:

Mama Sita's mix was used in the absence of tomato sauce. Next time I'll try to use tomato sauce and for sure it will taste better, and maybe, add in some herbs for a western twist. But for now, the mix is already tasty in itself.

So, the finished product, serves 2-3:
