Cut the leaves into 2 inch pieces. 3: Wash the leaves 3-4 times to remove all the dirt. Drain and set aside. 4: Peel the skin of the loofa squash and slice it into bite-size pieces. 5: Mince about 1/2 to 1 lb of shrimp. Season with chicken powder and crushed black pepper. 6: Slowly add the shrimp to the boiling stock using a spoon. The shrimp will float once it’s cooked. 7: Add the loofa squash and malabar spinach to the pot. 8: Season with fish sauce, sugar, and MSG. Mix well and enjoy!
