Pork Meatball and Winter Melon Soup
Ingredients
  • 1 pound ground pork
  • 2 tablespoons cornstarch
  • 1/2 bunch cilantro leaves, finely chopped
  • 3 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 2 tablespoons white sugar
  • 2 tablespoons minced garlic
  • 2 tablespoons minced fresh ginger
  • 2 eggs
  • 6 cups water
  • 2 pounds Chinese winter melon (dong gua), cut into 1 inch cubes
  • 3 slices fresh ginger
  • 1 tablespoon salt
  • 1 tablespoon white sugar
Instructions
1
Coat the pork with a mixture of cornstarch, cilantro, soy sauce, sugar, garlic, and ginger to create a uniform coating.
2
Combine water, winter melon, ginger, salt, and sugar in a large saucepan and bring to a rolling boil over high heat before gradually reducing the heat to a medium setting, allowing it to simmer for 5 minutes. In the meantime, shape small portions of the pork mixture into balls, approximately 1 teaspoon in size.
3
Gently place these meatballs into the simmering broth and continue to cook for an additional 8-10 minutes, or until they are fully cooked.
