Easy Korean Beef Bowl and Matzoh Ball Soup

[a_boleyn]

I'm always up for trying another cuisine and one of the blogs I follow often has very interesting Korean recipes. Of course, the most famous Korean dish is probably kimchi ... and one day, I may try to make my own. However, I'm not fond of fermented vegetables and cabbage is a new addition to my palate so it will be a while

Could you form them with an ice cream scoop and just drop them into the liquid to poach? That's how I do my meatballs.

I guess so, if you had one small enough. I just use a regular teaspoon to scoop the mixture out and gently form them into balls, I put them on a plate until I've got them all made. Then, take them over to the pot of water and gently drop them in.

I just wondered. I'm not planning on making any, mind you, but it was just a thought.

It's a good thought especially as the 'sweep' on the ice cream/cookie scoop can form and push it out into the simmering water. With periodic dips in the water, it helps sweep it out cleanly if you have a stiffer mixture. I just don't have one of the right size. :)

You should make them. They're delicious and a lot less work than making noodles. They puff up in size about double while cooking. Some people only have one matzoh ball per bowl. I made them a bit smaller and had 2.

TBG doesn't like them. There's so many other things he does like that it just makes sense to do those instead.

You're right ... make what you both enjoy. :)

I have to admit that at times it's a little frustrating, but he has so few dislikes that it's just easier.
