- 3 ounces misua
- 1 Knorr Shrimp Cube
- 1 patola sliced
- 1 bunch green onions chopped
- 4 cloves garlic chopped
- 1 onion minced
- Fish sauce and ground black pepper to taste
- 5 cups water

Tofu ball Ingredients:
- 1 lb. firm tofu
- 1 egg beaten
- 1 carrot minced
- 3 tablespoons green onion minced
- 1 onion minced
- 6 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
Start making the tofu balls by pressing the tofu to drain excess liquid. Mash it in a bowl and then add all the tofu ball ingredients. Mix well. Mold into balls. Note: you have the option to fry this in oil or to use an air fryer. This recipe suggests frying these in oil.
Heat cooking oil in a pan. Fry the tofu balls until the exterior part turns medium brown. Remove from the pan. Set aside.
Heat 3 tablespoons of cooking oil in a pot. (Note: you can utilize some of the oil used to cook the tofu balls.)
Saute garlic until it starts to brown. Add onion. Cook until the onion softens.
Pour water into the pot. Let it boil.
Add Knorr Shrimp Cube and fried tofu. Cook for 3 to 5 minutes.
Add patola. Cook for 5 minutes.
Put the miswa into the pot. Stir and season with fish sauce and ground black pepper.
Transfer to a serving plate and top with chopped green onions. Share and enjoy!
