Spicy Meatball Udon Soup

Spicy Meatball Udon Soup is a noodle soup dish made out of Pork and Beef Meatball with udon noodles served with chillies, spring onions and bok choy.

It’s been quite some time since I made something freestyle so today we will be preparing one in a noodle soup form this time. With our recipe for today I will be using my secret in making a really good soup without the effort. This secret was accidentally discovered when one time I was so lazy to chop some garlic and shallots so I ended up using the store bought crispy garlic and crispy shallots without the hassle of sautéing them. With a good base broth and a good amount of this you will be sure to have a really good soup base that tastes really authentic.

Now we that have a soup base we will then spike that up with some zing so for our recipe we will make a spicy soup with udon as the choice of noodle. Chillies, ginger, lemongrass and spring onions with give it some freshness and spice, for the protein of choice I will be using some meatballs made with pork and beef, we will also add some earthy flavours from dried mushrooms and some greens to make it a complete meal. I love this spicy but if you don’t want it to be that hot you can adjust the amount of chillies to your liking.
