Meatball and Soba Noodle Soup

I was reading the lovely Ancoo's blog the other day Anncoo's Hobby and she had a lovely soup recipe with pork meatballs and noodles. I had beef in my fridge and soba noodles so here is what I came up with. This was really delicious and with the added vegetables a healthy and complete meal.

Ingredients for the meatballs:

• one pack of lean hamburger meat (all natural)
• dash of sesame oil
• salt to taste
• teaspoon of sugar
• one big spoon of oyster sauce
• one big spoon soy sauce
• chopped cilantro/coriander
• one beaten egg
• flour
• ginger/garlic paste

Method:

1. mix all the above ingredients together and put in the fridge for 20 minutes

Ingredients for Soup:

• one package of beef stock
• one tablespoon of fish sauce
• one large carrot cut into slices
• one celery stalk chopped
• 2 shallots chopped
• 1/2 pack of mushrooms chopped

Method:

1. add all the above ingredients to a big wok and bring to the boil
2. then add the meatballs and simmer for 20 minutes
3. meanwhile cook for soba noodles for 3 minutes
4. then add to the pot and serve!
