Winter Melon Ball Soup

Overview

The most successful meatballs I have ever made, they did not fall apart at all and had a very chewy texture. Last night, the family had a dinner together. As soon as this soup was served, you took a spoonful of it and I had a small bowl, and it was divided up by everyone in an instant.

Ingredients

Steps

1. 1 Prepare raw materials: a piece of winter melon, pork (front meat, with some fat), a piece of lean beef, chopped onion and ginger, add some water, soak for a while to make onion and ginger water

   

2. 2 Wash the pork and beef and cut into small pieces and put them into the meat mincer

   

3. 3 Beat into minced meat

   

4. 4 Add 1 tablespoon of oyster sauce and stir evenly in one direction

   

5. 5 Add thirteen spices and light soy sauce, stir in one direction

   

6. 6 Add the onion and ginger water little by little (discard the onion and ginger), and stir the meat filling in one direction while adding

   

7. 7 The meat filling is not finished until it is smooth. You need to grab the meat balls and beat them into the basin repeatedly. At first, they will be a little loose. The more you beat them, the more the meat fillings will stick together. Until the meat fillings gradually become solid, then the meat fillings will really become strong.

   

8. 8 Heat the pot, add a little light vegetable oil, just a little bit is enough, sauté the onions and ginger

   

9. 9 Add water

   

10. 10 After the water boils, turn to the lowest heat and keep the water bubbling slightly around the edge of the pot. Take a small spoon, dip it in cold water, scoop out a spoonful of meat filling to form a meatball, and gently lower it into the water. Dip the spoon in cold water before scooping out the meat filling. This will ensure that the meat filling does not stick to the spoon and the meatballs will be smooth

    

11. 11 After all the meatballs are done, turn up the heat, medium heat is enough, bring the soup to a boil and skim off the foam

    

12. 12 When the meatballs float, add peeled and sliced winter melon

    

13. 13 Cook until the winter melon becomes translucent, turn off the heat, sprinkle a little pepper, and remove from the pot.

    

14. 14 Pour out the prepared soup and garnish with some coriander leaves
