Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Winter Melon Meatball Soup Delight.
Step 1
Start by grabbing a mixing bowl and combine the ground pork with cornstarch, chopped cilantro, soy sauce, two tablespoons of sugar, minced garlic, and minced ginger.
Step 2
Give it a good mix until everything is well blended and the mixture feels sticky to the touch—this is the key to juicy meatballs! Next, take a large saucepan and add in the water, winter melon cubes, fresh ginger slices, salt, and the remaining two tablespoons of sugar.
Step 3
Bring this delightful concoction to a boil over high heat, then lower the heat to medium and let it simmer for about five minutes.
Step 4
While your soup is bubbling away, it’s time to shape those meatballs! Scoop out about a teaspoon of the pork mixture and roll it into small balls.
Step 5
Once you’ve formed all your meatballs, gently drop them into the simmering soup.
Step 6
Let the magic happen as the soup simmers for another eight to ten minutes, or until the meatballs are fully cooked and start to float to the top, signaling that they’re ready to be enjoyed.
Step 7
This comforting dish is not just a meal; it’s a warm hug in a bowl!.
