Now let's prepare the meat paste 1st before we make the meatballs and other goodies 😊
In a food processor, dump ingredients for meatballs and turn them into fine paste.
Now grab the tofu, cut into triangles. Make a slice in the middle without cutting through. Spoon meat paste and repeat steps until all triangles filled up.
Bring water to boil, the lower heat and let the water simmer. Drop tofu into water and cook for 5-10 minutes, without turning up the heat.
Now to make the meatballs. Squeeze some of the paste between your point finger and thumb, and scoop the ball with a spoon, then drop it into the pot where the tofu are. Repeat to make as many meatballs as you like. Once done, then turn up heat and boil for 8 mins.
Meanwhile, grab a dumpling wrapper, spoon meat paste in center and shape into pouches, set aside. You can also shape them into triangles. Grab a wonton wrapper and spread meat paste evenly, set aside. Once done, fry the pouches, the triangles and the paste sheets, until golden brown and crispy, drain on paper towel for excess oil.
Now to make the soup. Boil chicken pieces, remove the floating fats or scum, drop in spring onion and cilantro, and season with the instant spice. If you want more soup, add more water and use up the whole 2 envelopes.
To prepare, place meatballs and fried goodies into a serving bowl, pour the hot soup and serve immediately 😋😋😋😋
