Can we add up green peas?
Yes, you may add them. In case you add green peas, we recommend that you use the frozen green peas found in the market than the one that is canned.
Where can we find chili-flakes?
Usually, they are found in groceries, but you can also buy them in the dry section of some public markets nowadays.
What can we use as chili-flakes substitute?
You can use chili powder or hot chili peppers (siling labuyo). You may chop 1 to 2 pieces of siling labuyo for the spice.
