Your choice of stock (around 3 c or so). For vegan
dish, try a veg stock, might be available at health food
stores. Otherwise, water flavoured with patis and pepper
might do.
Misua (around 2 bundles will do) 1/2 onion, finely sliced into half-moons 2-3 cloves of garlic, finely chopped Equal amount of ginger, cut in small matchsticks sayote (around 2) (available in many grocery stores as chayote - Ken)
Saute the garlic in oil then add onion and ginger. When the onion
turns translucent, add the stock or water along with salt/patis and
pepper to taste. Bring to a boil. Add the sayote (cut in 1 in
squares or to your liking) and simmer soup until sayote is tender.
Add the misua and stir, being careful not to let the misua get stuck
to each other (otherwise you get a nice sticky ricey mess). Allow
to sit for a couple of minutes.
