Instructions

• Prepare the meatballs by combining all meatball ingredients in a bowl. Mix well. Scoop 1 1/2 tablespoons of the mixture and form into a ball. Perform this step until the mixture is completely consumed. Set aside.

• Heat oil in a cooking pot. Once the oil becomes hot, pan fry the meatballs until the outer part turns light brown. Note: the meatballs do not need to be cooked completely at this point.

• Remove the meatballs from the pot. Set aside.

• Using the remaining oil, saute garlic until golden brown. Add onion. Continue to cook until the onion softens.

• Pour water. Let boil. Add the pan-fried meatballs back.

• Add Knorr Pork Cube. Stir. Cover the pot and cook in medium heat for 15 minutes.

• Add misua and patola. Cover and cook for 5 minutes.

• Season with patis and ground black pepper. Stir.

• Add scallions. Transfer to a serving bowl.
