Cooking tips
- When kneading the meatball mixture, if you add minced green onion from the start, it can become mushy and release an unpleasant smell, so be sure to mix it in only at the final stage after the meat has been thoroughly kneaded.
- Knead the mixture until it develops a sticky texture that doesn't fall when the bowl is turned upside down; this ensures the meatballs hold their shape in the soup and maintain a tender texture.
- When scooping meatballs with a spoon and adding them to the broth, dip the spoon in water between scoops to prevent sticking and achieve neat, round shapes that drop cleanly.
Recommended for
- Those looking for a clean and refreshing soup that warms you from the inside on cold or chilly days.
- Those who want to try making tender, moist Chinese-style meatballs that melt in your mouth.
- Those who prefer a non-spicy, clear soup with deep umami flavor.
