Cuisine: Chinese
Ingredients: 1/2 lb of ground meat of your choice (can also be a mix of different ones – I used 1/4 lb of pork with 1/4 lb of beef); 1/4 cup parsley, chopped; 5 cloves of garlic, minced; 2 Tablespoons thyme, fresh (or 2 teaspoons dried thyme); 1/2 – 1 Tablespoon of salt; 1 teaspoon black pepper; 1 egg, whisked; 1/4 cup cilantro, chopped; 1 teaspoon fresh ginger, grated; 1 quart (32 oz) chicken broth or bone broth

Ingredients

1/2 lb of ground meat of your choice (can also be a mix of different ones – I used 1/4 lb of pork with 1/4 lb of beef)
1/4 cup parsley, chopped
5 cloves of garlic, minced
2 Tablespoons thyme, fresh (or 2 teaspoons dried thyme)
1/2 – 1 Tablespoon of salt
1 teaspoon black pepper
1 egg, whisked
1/4 cup cilantro, chopped
1 teaspoon fresh ginger, grated
1 quart (32 oz) chicken broth or bone broth

Instructions

Pour the broth into a large pot and set it on a low heat to start simmering. Add in the grated ginger.
Meanwhile, in a bowl, mix together the ground meat, parsley, garlic, thyme, salt, pepper, and egg.
Form approximately 20 meatballs (just a bit smaller than golfballs) with your hands and place into the large pot of broth.
Boil for 10-15 minutes (you can cut one in half to check it’s done or use a meat thermometer).
Add in the cilantro (and salt to taste).
