Instructions
Prepare the meatballs
- In a mixing bowl, combine all the ingredients for the meatballs. Swirl constantly in the same direction until the mixture becomes very sticky.
- Use your hands or spoons to shape the mince into balls. Wet hands or spoons with water before making each ball to reduce stickiness. Set aside.
Cook the noodles
- If cooking shop-bought dried noodles, follow the instructions on the package. If you wish to make the noodles yourself, check out these recipes: Hand-pulled Noodles, Knife-cut Noodles, Machine made Ramen Noodles.
Make the soup
- In the meantime, heat up the oil in a wok over medium-high heat. Stir in spring onion and shiitake mushrooms. Cook until fragrant.
- Add tomato then fry until a bit mushy. Pour in hot water. Cover the wok with a lid. Leave to simmer until the tomato is very soft.
- Turn the heat up to high. Gently place the meatballs one after another into the soup. Boil until the meatballs are fully cooked (check one ball. Do not overcook ).
- Sprinkle with salt, white pepper and coriander.
- Serve it hot with well drained noodles. Add some Chinese chilli oil if you wish.
Notes
- You may also use minced pork or turkey for this dish.
- How to rehydrate shiitake mushrooms: soak them in cold water for at least 8 hours until very soft. Trim and discard the stem before slicing.
