Method
- Bring the water or rice washing to a simmer with tomatoes, onion, and ginger.

- Add the eggplant and sitaw and cook until tender but still distinct.
- Season the broth with fish sauce or salt.
- Add the leafy greens and cook only until wilted.
- Add vinegar, kamias, or calamansi gradually at the end, tasting the cooked broth after each addition.
- Serve hot with fried or grilled fish if desired.
