Bihon Guisado

I was very happy to see my friend Brenda in a grocery store yesterday after a long time. It was my fault why we haven't seen each other that long. I told her I will come to her house to give her the leche flan I saved for her. She is the kind of person that is not afraid to try any kind of foods. So as soon as I got home, I cooked Bihon for her to take with me together with the flan.

I know that every Filipino knows how to prepare bihon but I would like to share the recipe anyway.
