Odong noodles, sautéed, with sardines was one of my favorites to cook for dinner back when I was still in the Philippines. All of us in the family loved the dish and were delighted to see it on the dinner table. But when I got here in the U.S., I couldn’t find the odong noodles in the foreign food section at any of the stores we shopped . But recently, after I googled, I found them at an online Filipino store. I ordered them immediately and here they are.
You can hardly see the sardines in these photos because I crushed them. But the taste of the sardines was sure there.
I used all the odong noodles that I ordered, but I’m going to order a batch of Filipino goodies again soon which will include even more odong noodles, for sure, and stock up for the long haul.
Here’s how I prepared this dish. It so simple and so easy.
Ingredients:
- I can (155 g) sardines
- 12 packets Odong
- I medium-sized onion, chopped
- 2 tsp garlic, minced
- Water
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions:
- Saute’ garlic until golden brown.
- Add in onion and cook until translucent.
- Add the sardines and break down to pieces.
- Add water and let boil.
- Season with salt and pepper.
- Add noodles.
- Add more water if necessary until noodles are cooked.
- Serve with steamed rice if desired.
I also used a Filipino brand of sardines named Ligo that I also ordered online, and I chose the one in tomato sauce. I could have used a brand found in the U.S. supermarkets, but I prefer the Filipino brand for this.
We always pair this with steamed rice. And I’m craving for this dish again just by looking at it!
