This was one of my favorite things to eat growing up. I'm glad to have found the recipe on here. It was very easy to make and especially good on a cold Winter day. For added flavor and spice, I tossed in 2-3 yellow chili pepper. I also added Upo, a Filipino squash vegetable that you can find at most Asian grocery stores. If that's difficult to find, chayote squash is also a good substitute.
