Chinese Beef Meatball Soup Recipe

Chinese Beef Meatball Soup is easy quick, healthy, and delicious. It's homemade food. You barely see it in restaurants (there are many fish ball soups in southern China). I'll tell you the secret to make perfect beef ball.

Busy moms love it. Buy ground beef from supermarket, add seasonings and sauce, and mix. It'll be done within a few minutes.

In this Beef Ball Soup, I added daikon radish which helps to regulate stomach and spleen and boost metabolism.

Good meatball should be chewy, elastic, and not scattered. I watched a Hongkong film before. You would know how to make meatball elastic if you watch this film. The film tells the story of a restaurant which sold meatball. The restaurant was famous for its elastic meatball. The meatballs can jump to as high as 10 meters. But his son despised restaurant work. He didn't learn his father' secret recipe. After the founder died. The restaurant's business was done. He felt regret and began to study how to make elastic meatball. One day he employed a new assistant. The assistant stroke the ground beef by his fist. Because he had Kongfu. His fists were more powerful than any others. Thus the meatballs were very sticky and elastic. The owner was cheerful as he could continue his father's business.

So you know now, to make good meatball you should hit and strike the ground beef. Spoil its current tissues and then reconstruct to become sticky.
