Braised meatballs with mushroom and cabbage

  • Braised meatballs with mushroom and cabbage Make Tips

    1. To make this soup, you can use vermicelli and cabbage, or tofu and cabbage; adding meatballs tastes great too. 2. Squeezing the meatballs onto the cabbage ensures they heat evenly. Then, switch to high heat to bring to a boil, season, and serve. Meatballs made this way are quite tender and smooth. If you squeeze the meatballs directly into boiling water, the first ones in will become tough, and the texture won't be good by the time they are all cooked! Another method is poaching meatballs in cold water: pour clear water into the pot, squeeze the meatballs into cold or lukewarm water, then turn to high heat to bring to a boil. Remove the meatballs once the water boils and set aside. Next, add the cabbage, bring to a boil, season, and then add the meatballs back in. The texture is also very tender this way, though it is a bit more troublesome. Well-made, smooth, and tender poached meatballs will float on the surface of the soup and not sink to the bottom; only such meatballs are truly delicious, melting in your mouth.
