Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 lb (450 g) lean ground pork
2 green onions, finely chopped, plus more for garnish
1 egg, beaten
3 tbsp (25 g) all-purpose flour
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 tbsp (15 ml) olive oil
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 onion, chopped
8 cups (1.9 L) chicken broth
1 tbsp (15 ml) fish sauce
2 oz (57 g) misua noodles, Japanese somen noodles, capellini noodles or angel hair pasta

Steps:

  • In a large bowl, combine the pork, green onions, egg and flour. Season with salt and pepper. Mix together well, then form into 1-inch (2.5-cm) meatballs. Set aside.
  • Heat the oil in a pot over medium-high heat. Add the garlic and onion. Sauté until the onion begins to soften, about 2 minutes.
  • Add the broth and fish sauce, and bring to a boil. Drop the meatballs into the boiling broth and simmer for 10 to 15 minutes, or until the meatballs are cooked. Add the misua noodles and cook until soft, about 3 minutes. Season with fish sauce (or salt) and pepper, to taste.
  • Garnish with the chopped green onions. Serve hot.

I used ground turkey instead of beef, and it turned out great! This is a healthy and flavorful soup that I will definitely be making again.

The meatballs were a bit dry, but the soup was delicious. I would add more liquid next time.
