Meatball soup
Hey there, longtime no see! I'm posting my fist soup recipe, which is one of my favoites, Meatball soup! Since I have no cooking robot but I love the texture of the taiwanese style meat ball, I've made original chinese meatball but I've put taiwanese ingredients and more starch to have a more ''dought-like'' texture. You'll see, the spices add an intensive flavour to the meatballs and make them addictive!

Around 2 or 3 serving, considering it as a main dish.

Ingredients:

-1 pound of ground pork

-4-6 tbs potato starch (dpending how chewy you want them)

-1/2 ts baking powder

-1 ts ground black pepper

-1 ts sesame oil

-1 tbs dark soy sauce

-2 tbs sugar

-1 ts MSG (optional)

-1 tbs salt

-2 cloves of garlic chopped

-3 nappa cabbage leaves in strips

-1 can of sliced water chestnuts

-100 g rice vermicelli

-7-8 cup of water

Bowl season:

Light Soy Sauce

Black Pepper

Sesame Oil

Chili oil

Spring Onions

Mix your meat with starch, baking powder, black pepper, black soy sauce, sesame,oil, sugar, MSG, salt, and garlic.

Marinate your meat for 3 hours in the fridge.

Boil the water, when it start boil, make chicken balls one by one to put in the water.

Once the meatballs float to the top, add the cabbage, the water chestnuts, and boil for one minutes.

Add the noodles and cook 2 more minutes.

Put your favorites seasoning at your taste in your bowl, then pour the soup in.

Enjoy!
