            In Cabugao, Ilocos Sur, Nemia  Sinabal is making not just a twist of noodles but it is making healthier and nutritional. Well, it’s simply adding the nutrition of vegetables like malunggay (moringga) and the kalabasa (squash) and ampalaya (bitter gourd) in her noodles through her Nimia’s Miki.

            No preservatives. Healthier packed with the nutrition value coming from these vegetables. This is not a noodles, its super-noodles.

            Making is so easy by just mixing the flour to be made as noodles and then add the desired vegetable for the variants.

2.      Mix well and then slice to become a noodle. If there is slicer better put through slicer.

3.      Sun dried the noodles.

4.      Put into the package

Nemia said the Department of Science and Technology loaned her slicer machine, stainless hanger and stainless table. And now her business is growing supplying the key groceries and department stores. Orders are growing also.
