Receta Kimlo
I guess for most Filipinos this will look similar to the Sotanghon soup without the annatto seeds, well I can tell you that it looks similar but it taste quite different because the Filipino version has a base of chicken and garlic while Kimlo is more of a chicken, vegetable and fish ball combination. This dish is an combination of two cuisines, namely Indonesian and Chinese and has been prepared in Indonesia for more than a hundred years now.
The soup has no set ingredients but the most common ones are prawns, cabbages, carrots, celery, tomatoes, wood ear fungus, beef balls (bakso sapi), fish balls, sweet peas and chicken to name some; this is then served on a chicken soup base together with glass noodles.
