Pork & Prawn Meatball Soup
Posted on 20 Jun, 2023
- Add all meatball ingredients into a stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment and let it run on medium speed for about 5mins. This will give your meatballs stickiness and bounce. Alternatively, you can use a pair of chopsticks to stir vigorously in one direction until you notice the ingredients transform into a cohesive, sticky mix. Chill this mix for 30 mins.
- Meanwhile, add the water, soup cubes and coriander roots to a large pot and bring to the boil. Stir to dissolve the cubes.
- Once the soup is rapidly boiling, throw in bok choy and let them cook for about a minute (less if they are small). Remove the bok choy and place 4 x halves into each serving bowl.
- Form meatballs with your hands. I got 24 out of these. The yield will depend on the size of your meatballs (eg: the smaller the meatball, the more meatballs you will get). Gently add them to your pot of bubbling soup and cook for 8 mins.
- Remove meatballs and evenly distribute amongst the serving bowls. Ladle in remaining soup (discard coriander roots).
- Garnish with fresh coriander, sliced spring onions, fried shallots, cracked white. Serve hot.
