Chicken Mami is commonly made with Miki noodles and chicken strips. Its origins trace back to the Chinese. Different meats such as pork or beef can be substituted for chicken. It is a favorite noodle breakfast of Filipinos and is also known as a hangover food and is commonly sold be street vendors in the Philippines. This dish can also be served as snacks. Back in my hometown, we eat mami during meryenda.
