mini-boss in a foreign land: mess duty (part 2)

in case you were w(o)ndering, my sinigang was edible. we used beef ribs (big ones) instead of pork spare ribs -- beef ribs were the only available meat in our ref for sinigang. we also had to substitute spinach leaves for kangkong, as kangkong is hard to find here. we also used radish and gabi (taro?). my roommie helped me slice the ingredients (thanks jean!). since there were no measurements indicated in the recipe, i only approximated the quantities of the ingredients. moreover, we had so much meat that i had to use two big casseroles! i felt like i was cooking for a feast :)

my friends said that it was good enough, that it tasted like sinigang (hey, what are friends for?) :) i think it was not sour enough -- after all, we were able to buy only two packs of sinigang mix. thankfully, there were no complaints, and i didn't need to threaten them ("eat my sinigang or suffer the wrath of akane, the iron chef!"). cooking ain't so bad after all ;)

next recipe please! ;)
