Equipment

  • Knife and cutting board
  • Soup pot
  • Mixing bowl to mix the ground pork and shape the meatballs.
  • Spoon or small scoop for shaping and dropping the meatballs into the soup.

Ingredients

  • 4 cups water
  • 2 coriander root
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • ½ onion, finely chopped
  • 1 bouillon cube
  • 2 oz carrot
  • 8 oz daikon
  • 1 tbsp light soy sauce
  • ½ tsp salt
  • ½ tsp white pepper powder
  • 8 oz ground pork
  • green onions, optional garnish, to taste
  • cilantro, optional garnish, to taste

Instructions

  • Prepare the ingredients. Peel and slice the daikon and carrot. Finely chop the onion, mince the garlic, and roughly chop the coriander root. Set everything aside and keep it ready.
  • Bring water to a boil in a soup pot over medium heat. Add the chopped onion, garlic, and coriander root. Let it simmer for 1–2 minutes to release the aroma.
  • Add the sliced daikon and carrots to the pot. Simmer until the vegetables begin to soften slightly.
  • Add the bouillon cube, salt, and white pepper powder. Reduce the heat to low-medium and let the soup simmer while preparing the meatballs.
  • Season the ground pork with a pinch of salt and pepper. Mix well and roll into small meatballs.
  • Gently drop the raw pork meatballs into the soup. Let them simmer until fully cooked and floating.
  • Once the vegetables are tender and the broth is flavorful, turn off the heat. Serve warm, garnished with chopped green onions or cilantro if desired.
