great article. but instead of pork, what else can be used for the “meatballs”? and will they taste the same?

Bola-bola Thai style: Mince wansoy roots and add to bola-bola mixture.

My husband doesn’t like much misua or patola, but still whenever i cooked them he is forced to eat, he he he!! so sometimes, i use sotanghon instead of misua. I love slimy veggies like takway,okra and saluyot. we even substitute ugbos ng boyboy to our laswang labong with shrimp/crabs if those 3 are unavailable…. yum!….:)

instead of meat balls, canned sardines or mackerel serves well too with patola!

Love almondigas! Hubby doesn’t like it though because of the misua’s texture so sometimes I substitute sotanghon for the noodles. Yummy!

Yummy especially during the rainy days! We lived in the farm far from the market place during my younger days so in the absence of mince meat (which was always the case) my mother would use frog legs (frogs were easily available back then and there were no poisonous frogs yet), instead of meatballs or meatballs made from tinadtad na frog legs!

Ah! Comfort food for me. :D

But this dish is dependent on how good the patola is. I don’t like it as much if the patola is bitter, or too mature it feels like eating a loofah.
