what was on my mind is that it takes also a person knowledgeable in cooking to cook a great ampalaya.
let me share a TIP: 1. if you master your sauteing technique skill your chance in cooking a great ampalaya is 80%.
2. don't let the oil burn the ampalaya, when sauteing 'cause that is what makes it bitter
Anyway i want to try your cooking recipe cause it uses a tomato and egg. Good Job to other recipes !! yahhhaaa Merry Christmass in Advance
I miss eating ampalaya!
