Easy Korean Beef Bowl and Matzoh Ball Soup

Jan 30, 2017 00:41

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 ( Read more... )

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.

Hearty winter fare, yum!

I have not been cooking much, but last night I invented a pasta with sauteed broccoli, mushrooms and thinly shredded leeks in a cream sauce with asiago. It came out pretty good for being made on a whim!

Sounds tasty. :)

It wasn't bad. It was nice to experiment in the kitchen again.

I love how adaptable you are, and those are the nicest looking matzoh balls I've ever seen. I've never made them before; do you have a posted recipe for them? I'm in a very soup-desiring mood.

Thank you for the compliment but I just used the matzoh ball recipe on the canister of Manieschewitz unsalted matzoh meal ( ... )

Thank you for this! :D
