MISSION #6: HEALTHY HABITS
A healthy diet is needed to keep your body strong and your skin beautiful. Share with us a family recipe using ingredients that are good for the skin.
I came from Bacolod City, the City of Smiles known for its Masskara festival. Our favorite local dish to prepare at home (especially when I'm sick) is "laswa" (with the accent on "las").
It is a clear vegetable soup! It's easy and quick to prepare and is made mostly of greens and just add prawns if you like!
Laswa Recipe
The thing is, I don't want to spoonfeed you with the ingredients. The way to cook Laswa is really simple and quick. You would just need to estimate the number of vegetables you need to include. Our family would usually cook it with the ingredients that can be found on our backyard. It is very nutritious because it rich in vitamins and minerals plus it has a lot of fiber. Eating healthy food means you are nourishing your body from within, thus giving you beautiful skin.
Ingredients:
- Kalabasa (squash)
- sliced eggplant
- saluyot (tagalog) or tugabang (hiligaynon)
- malunggay
- okra (this will give the slimey texture, don't worry it's yummy!)
- wedge onions
- sliced tomato
- salt and pepper
- water
- a little bit of shrimp paste for flavor (optional)
