This soup recipe was something me and my siblings enjoyed during a stormy day. The sayote would be picked from a neighbor’s backyard. Sometimes, my mother would serve this with fried fish.
Ingredients:
2 bunches misua
1 onion, sliced
3 cloves garlic, minced
2 tablespoons, ginger, chopped
3 cups vegetable soup stock
2 pieces sayote, julienned
2 tablespoons peanut oil
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper
In a warm skillet, saute garlic in oil, add onion and ginger, fry until onions are translucent. Add the vegetable soup stock. Add salt and freshly ground pepper. Bring to a boil. Drop in the sayote and cook until tender. Add the misua and stir so that the noodles will not stick. Remove from heat. Let stand for about 3 minutes, then serve while still hot. Serves 4.
