Miswa Patola Bola-Bola

Hand mix everything in a bowl until all ingredients are well incorporated. Take half of the mixture and place it in another bowl.

Take the ground pork mix in a bowl. Using a big spoon, scoop out a portion of the ground pork mix and roll it on your hands to create a ball. Repeat the process until you create about 4 – 5 balls. It can be big or small, depending on your preference. Set aside and let it chill for 15 minutes.

Take a small stock pot and place on medium heat. Pour oil and then once oil is heated, add garlic, onions and ginger and sauté until aromatic.

Pour in the stock and bring to a slow boil. Slowly drop the meat balls in the simmering broth, make sure that it is not on rolling boil or your meatballs might be destroyed.

Let simmer for about 5 – 8 minutes and then add the patola and fish sauce. Continue simmering for another 5 minutes or until the vegetable is tender.

Drop the miswa and cook for another minute. Season one last time with salt and pepper if still needed. Serve and plate.
