CHINESE 5 SPICE BEEF BALL SOUP

Prep 20 mins
Cooking 20 mins
Serves 3 - 4

Feeling like a soup that’s just a little bit different? Then try our Cape Herb and Spice Chinese 5 Spice beef broth with beef balls. It’s light and healthy, but has a warming spicy kick – just perfect for a light winter lunch.

- METHOD -

Combine the beef ball ingredients, then scoop out tablespoon measures of the mince and roll into balls. Fry beef balls in a non-stick frying pan with a teeny splodge of oil and set aside.

Fry the spring onions over low heat in the vegetable and sesame oil for a minute or two until they start softening. Add the Cape Herb and Spice Chinese 5 Spice, ginger and garlic and fry for a further minute. Add the stock and button mushrooms, hoisin, honey and chilli. Cover and cook over low heat for 10 minutes. Now add the browned off beef balls as well as the bok choy and carrots and cook briefly until veggies are done –it only takes about two minutes. Taste for salt and adjust as needed. Garnish with sliced green spring onion stalks and coriander.
