Ingredients

1 Patola (sponge gourd)
1 thumb-sized ginger, sliced
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 medium onion, chopped
Salt to taste
Pepper to taste
Chicken broth cube
Rice water or plain water
2 – 3 packs misua (white vermicelli)
Oil for sautéing
Steps:

First prepare the patola by slicing off the ends. Then slice the squash in half then peel off the skin with a knife or peeler. Then slice into circles. Set aside.
Heat some oil in a pot, then saute ginger before adding in the garlic. Cook for a bit before placing in the onions. Cook till soft.
Add in the sliced patola and saute till tender. Add salt, pepper, and chicken broth cube for flavor. Mix well before pouring in the rice water (or water). Just enough to fill halfway of the pot.
Cover and bring to a boil. Once simmering add in the misua. Stir often to keep the noodles from sticking together. Set aside.
Fry some tulisang pugot (or any dried fish) in another pan to pair with the soup. Serve with some rice. Enjoy !
