The weather is getting cooler.. now it's the best season here in AZ, though it's a bit late than last year, the cooler temperature is definitely here now... much much nicer and enjoyable..
The meal I want to talk about in this post is one of our comfort foods in my family back in my country, we did not cook it as we could buy it anytime we want and it much simpler than make it in our kitchen, but in here, I have to cook it myself as nobody sell it here.. and it's perfect meal for the cold days like nowadays
Okiedokie.. let's start with the ingredients:
- 4 oz of ground chicken (thigh meat)
- 4 oz of ground pork
- 4 oz of shrimps, peeled and ground
- a few stems of green onion, thinly chopped
- 1 tsp of tapioca starch
- 1 tsp of fried garlic
- 1 tsp of sesame oil
- 1 eggwhite (small egg)
- salt and pepper
- 1 lbs (pack) of firm tofu, cut in half, then diagonally cut the halves (make 4 pieces), carve a hole with a knife, then carefully dig out the hole, leave the tofu that we dug out aside
For the meatball:
- Combine all the ingredients, form a ball, about ping pong ball size, leave 1/4 part of the mixture for tofu's fillings
For the tofu's filling: grind the tofu and blend it in the meat mixture, mix well, then carefully stuff it back to fill the hole on the tofu
- meanwhile, in a big pot, boil water, season with salt, pepper or fish sauce, or boil chicken/beef broth, put the meatball in the boiled water/broth, cook it until the meatballs float, set aside, repeat with the stuffed tofu, carefully put them in the boiled water, let them cook until the fillings are cooked, set aside
- prepare the noodles, cook following the instruction on the package
- boil some bokchoy or beansprouts
- set noodles in a bowl, add veggies, meatballs and tofu, add hot broth, garnish with fried shallots, green onions and chili sauce
his bowl, more noodles, more tofu and he was stuffed for the whole night :)
