How to make meatball, vegetable and vermicelli soup

Step 1

First prepare the ingredients for the soup. Take 10 pieces of baby cabbage, separate the stems and leaves of 7 pieces of baby cabbage, cut the stems into sections, and tear the leaves in half. Cut the remaining 3 pieces of baby cabbage into leaf size including stems and leaves. Slice carrots and dice garlic and green onions.

Step 2

Add oil and sauté garlic, onions and carrots until fragrant.

Step 3

Add the baby cabbage stalks and stir-fry until soft.

Step 4

Add half of the stock and half of the water, bring to a boil over high heat, turn to medium to low heat and cover with a lid, cook for 15 minutes, and add salt to taste.

Step 5

While the soup is cooking, soak 2 balls of vermicelli in hot water.

Step 6

First prepare the ingredients for the meatballs. Roughly chop two pieces of baby cabbage and put them into a food processor to smash. They should not be too mushy, but should have a little bit of small particles. If you don’t have a food processor, just chop it with a knife.

Step 7

Mix minced baby cabbage, chopped garlic, allspice, pepper, salt, cornstarch, oil, and an egg into the minced meat.

Step 8

Mix well and set aside to marinate. While the meat is marinating, start cooking the vermicelli.

Step 9

Turn the heat to medium-high, let the soup boil, add the vermicelli and cook until the soup boils again.

Step 10

Use two tablespoons alternately to form the minced meat into meatballs and throw it into the soup. Throw them one by one.

Step 11

After all the meatballs are put into the pot, cook for 1 to 2 minutes until the soup boils.

Step 12

Add baby cabbage leaves and cook until the soup boils. It only takes 1-2 minutes.

Step 13

Remove from the pan.

Step 14

Potting.

Step 15

The meatballs are extremely soft. If you like, you can dip them in mustard and soy sauce. But I think the meatballs themselves are delicious, and the soup combines the flavors of vegetables and meatballs, which is very delicious. Meatball vegetable vermicelli soup cooking tips

1. You need to add enough baby cabbage and don’t forget to add eggs to make the meatballs soft. 2. Don’t worry about the minced meat being a little thin. Do not knead or knead the meatballs with your hands, do not press them tightly, otherwise the meatballs will not be so soft. If you can knead a smooth meatball with your hands, it means you didn't add enough vegetables and the meatballs won't be soft enough.
