Miswa are thin salted noodles made from wheat flour and eggs. The noodles strands are extremely delicate and require just about a minute or two of cooking. As they are a frugal way to extend portions, I like adding them to a few of my favorite dishes such as sardines and miswa. Miswa at patola soup pairs well with rice and your choice of meat or fish but it’s equally delicious enjoyed all on its own.
