Healthy Mush-delicious "ulam" Jolly Mushroom with Tofu

A lot of moms are now into healthy living that they find it exciting to prepare something that is creative, but delicious meals for the family. As a mom, I want my family to enjoy what they're eating. Mushroom is one of my favorite ingredients that is always in my list. It adds flavor and very healthy as well. Mushrooms are also great for diet that's nutritious and appetizing.

When I received a bagful of Jolly Mushroom, the country's leading mushroom brand, I really got so excited! Mushrooms are generally used for a limited number of dishes reserved only for special occasions, but with Jolly Mushrooms, moms can blend mushrooms in our daily cooking - a kitchen hack that can easily help transform our favorite meals or new creation into 'mush-delicious'meals that our family will love.

Moms can now ease into making more mushroom-based dishes and discover how mushrooms can shake up their culinary repertoire. By simply adding a 1 can (400g) of Jolly Whole Mushroom, moms can make any dish extra special and "mush-masarap" - making them "mish-madiskarte" in the kitchen.

Marilou Acuña, Fly Ace Corporation group product manager for Jolly Food Line, talks about this interesting kitchen discovery that can elevate any dish. "Jolly Mushroom can add depth and flavor to one's cooking. It can be a hearty addition to your favorite 'ulam,' giving it an exciting twist for the whole family to enjoy." 

I prepared my own version of healthy meal that you should try! It's healthy and I assure you, it's superbly delicious!
