    You know what I use instead of the hard to find miso? The tahina/hommos paste in the can which works and tastes just the same. Try it the next time you cook Sinigang sa Miso and let me know how you find it.

    I just made pesang isda for the first time but for the sarsang miso, I used chick peas and navy combined. It was my first time so maybe next time I will use strictly chick peas only.
