My patola soup is almost considered a Misua soup except I used a different kind of noodle: Bean thread vermicelli instead of soft, mushy Misua noodles. I also used dried Shiitake mushroom and its mushroom broth as well as vegetable broth instead of chicken or beef broth.
I topped my patola soup with fried marinated tempeh for added flavor and richness.
