My first introduction to La Paz Batchoy, sadly, were the yellow foam bowls labeled Lucky Me! Don’t get me wrong. I have nothing against convenient foods. As much as I love to cook, noodle packages are a staple in my house and one I always keep a stock of. In fact, one of my favorite quick-fix meals is this mock pancit canton stir-fry made from Lucky Me! instant ramen noodles.
