HOW TO COOK CHICKEN MAMI

How to Cook Chicken Mami –Chicken Mami is one of the best soups when the weather is chilly. I can still remember when I was a kid, my cousins and I used to go to Dacoco, a small eatery somewhere in our town. Mami in Dacoco was great and because of the delicious dishes they served, they had the chance of having a branch not too far from their main branch. Because of the overwhelming demands, the customers had to fall in a line to wait for them to be served with. That was the reason I had learned how to cook Chicken Mami. I couldnt stand the line to wait for my orders so I said to myself why didn’t I cook my own Mami?

I tried to cook this dish until I mastered the recipe. I was glad because at least I won’t have to fall in the line and wait for me to get a bowl of Mami. Cooking this dish is not that hard as I thought. Simple ingredients would make it simple but the still the taste could not be better. If you are going to cook my recipe, you can add some ingredients that you think would be good for this dish. If you are not sure about adding some ingredients, well, you can replace the vegetables or add the amount of a particular ingredient. But one thing must not be forgotten-the egg noodles because this is the best kind of noodle used in cooking Mami. Here is my tutorial on how to cook Chicken Mami:
