Chinese Vegetable Soup With Shrimp And Pork Meatballs Recipes

Steps:

• Place pork neck bones into a large pot; cover with water. Bring to a boil and skim scum off the surface with a slotted spoon. Drain.
• Return bones to the pot. Add 10 cups water, potatoes, tomatoes, onion, and carrot. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low and simmer soup until flavors combine, 1 1/2 to 2 hours. Season with sugar and salt.

Steps:

• Heat the vegetable oil in a large Dutch oven or soup pot over medium-high heat, and cook and stir the chicken thigh and breast meat until the chicken is no longer pink inside, about 3 minutes. When the chicken is cooked, stir in the water, chicken bouillon cube, garlic, ginger, soy sauce, and sesame oil. Bring the soup to a boil, and reduce heat to a simmer.
• Stir in the baby corn, water chestnuts, carrots, broccoli florets, napa cabbage, red bell pepper, green onions, celery, zucchini, and snow peas, and simmer until the carrots start to softened, and the broccoli and snow peas turn bright green, 1 to 2 minutes. Mix in the mushrooms, and simmer for 5 more minutes.

Steps:

• Prepare the meatballs: Chop the scallions, shrimp, and water chestnuts. Mince the garlic.
• In a medium bowl, mix the corn starch and soy sauce. Add egg whites, sesame oil, scallions, cilantro, ginger and garlic and blend well.
• Add shrimp, pork and water chestnuts and mix well. Add salt and pepper to taste. Chill for 30 minutes.
• Prepare the broth: Chop the scallions and bok choy. Thinly slice the carrot and snow peas. Mince the garlic.
• Combine stock, scallions, garlic, ginger, soy sauce, and carrot in a large soup pot. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low and simmer, uncovered, for 10 minutes.
• Form meat mixture into 1" balls and drop into simmering soup (using wet hands makes this easier). Simmer for 10 minutes, until meatballs are cooked through and no longer pink.
• Add the bok choy and snow peas and simmer for 2 minutes. Season to taste with salt and pepper.

Steps:

• Place green onions, garlic, ginger and water chestnuts in your food processor and pulse until ingredients are finely chopped; transfer to a large bowl; add pork and mix.
• Place shrimp in same food processor and pulse until finely chopped; add to pork mixture.
• Add egg, oyster sauce, 1/2 tsp of sesame oil, soy sauce, salt and pepper to the pork mixture; mix lightly until just combined (I use my hands, it's easier), form into 1 1/2-inch balls.
• Heat 3 tablespoons of the peanut oil to a large, non-stick skillet oven medium-high heat; add meatballs; cook, turning often, until browned and cooked through, about 10 minutes.
• Meanwhile, toss noodles with remaining 1/2 tsp of sesame oil and 1 Tablespoon of peanut oil.
• Serve meatballs over noodles.
• Sprinkle with remaining chopped green onions.
• Serve this with flash-cooked greens with garlic.
