Misua with Pork Balls


The photo is not as appealing as the taste but I assure you this one is delicious as well. I got the recipe from one of my cookbooks. I replaced some ingredients though like minced chicken instead of minced pork, I garnish it with dried parsley instead of spring onions. I also added a little bit of lemon juice in the minced chicken. However I’d like to share to you the original measurements and ingredients so you know the basic first. You can experiment with this once you have tried the original recipe. Enjoy!

YOU NEED:

500 g minced pork
1 medium carrot, peeled and chopped
½ medium onion, chopped
1 egg
1 tbsp flour
Salt and pepper
8 cups of water
2 chicken stock cubes
100 g Misua (wheat noodles) ***
2 tsp fish sauce (to taste)
Chopped spring onions, to garnish (optional)

WHAT TO DO:

1. Combine pork, carrot, onion, egg and flour in a mixing bowl. Season with salt and pepper and mix well. Shape into meatballs and set aside.
2. In a deep saucepan or casserole, bring water to the boil.
3. Drop in pork balls and simmer over medium heat until balls are fully cooked, about 15 minutes.
4. Stir in stock cubes.
5. When cubes have dissolves, add the misua.
6. Season with fish sauce.
7. Simmer 2 to 3 minutes (misua cooks very quickly).
8. Garnish with spring onions, if desired.
