A Week Of Filipino Breakfast 🇵🇭 (#3 linggo) I made chicken mami for the first time

egg noodles

🥗Healthier: whole wheat noodles

💰Cheaper: instant noodles

Whole wheat noodles add fiber and nutrients.

chicken broth

🥗Healthier: low-sodium chicken broth

💰Cheaper: water with seasoning

Low-sodium options are healthier while still flavorful.

soy sauce

🥗Healthier: tamari

💰Cheaper: coconut aminos

Tamari is gluten-free and has a similar taste.

vegetable oil

🥗Healthier: olive oil

💰Cheaper: canola oil

Olive oil is healthier due to its monounsaturated fats.

Heat vegetable oil in a large pot over medium heat until shimmering.

Add chopped garlic and onion; sauté until fragrant and translucent, about 2-3 minutes.

Stir in ginger and cook for another minute.

Add chicken pieces and cook until no longer pink, about 5-7 minutes.

Pour in chicken broth and water; bring to a boil.

Add bay leaves and reduce heat to simmer for 20-30 minutes.

Remove chicken, shred it, and return it to the pot.

Add egg noodles and cook until tender, about 5-7 minutes.

Stir in soy sauce and season with salt and pepper to taste.

Add sliced carrots and celery; cook for an additional 3-4 minutes.

Serve hot, garnished with chopped green onions and lemon wedges.
