Instructions
- Place all the broth ingredients in a big pot and bring to a boil. Turn off the heat and leave to infuse while you get on with making the meatballs.
- In a small bowl, pour enough milk over the bread to moisten it, and let it soak for 5 minutes.
- In the meantime, place the meat in a large bowl and season with a little salt and pepper.
- Fold in chopped spring onions, grated ginger, cilantro, lime zest and fish sauce, and mix together with the meat until well combined.
- Use your hands to squeeze the excess milk out of the bread, it should be soft and moist. Tear the bread into small chunks, add them to the bowl along with the other meatballs ingredients, and mix until combined.
- Shape the mixture into tablespoon-sized balls, you should get about 20-22 meatballs.
- Drop the meatballs in the hot broth, cover and simmer for 10 minutes. Add pak choi, snow peas and carrots and continue to cook for an extra 5 minutes.
- Meanwhile, in a small pot, cook the noodles according to the packet instructions.
- Drain the noodles, divide between four soup bowls, and put 3-5 meatballs on top of each portion.
- Ladle the broth into the bowls, garnish with cilantro, spring onion, fresh chili and lime wedges, and serve.
Notes
- This soup keeps very well in the fridge for up to 2 days, but make sure to make the noodles only just before serving.
- You can also freeze this soup (without noodles) and store in an airtight container in the freezer for up to 2 weeks.
