Where to find ingredients
Rice and basic pantry items like salt, oil, onions, and carrots are easily found in any local palengke or supermarket. Raisins can be found in the baking or snack aisle of major grocery chains. For fresh herbs, look for 'spring onions' and 'parsley' (often labeled as Italian or curly parsley) in the produce section of your local supermarket. Parmesan cheese can be found in the dairy aisle, usually sold in wedges or pre-grated packs. If you cannot find fresh green peas, high-quality frozen green peas are a great, easy-to-use alternative.
