There is a sweetness in patola itself, I simply add some sliced carrots and sauteed with garlic, add some water to bring out the juice from the patula. Add some salt and light soy sauce to taste. A juicy dish for the day.
Bayam / spinach soup can be ready in minutes unlike many other soups that need more times or some up to hours to slow boil. Since Bayam is the main vegetable here, you could replace vegetable balls with other ingredients like meat balls, fish ball, pork, chicken or beef.
Please watch below slides for the steps to preparing my version of Bayam soup.
During the week on my 7-Days detoxification and Rejuvenation Program (DRP), I was merely on fruits and vegetable diet. These was one of the main meals that I had for dinner, it was boiled without salt and other seasoning.
