Tofu Soup with Bean Sprouts and Meatballs

This is supposed to be a Tofu Soup with minced pork balls and salted vegetables. I couldn't get salted vegetables, somehow. My meatballs are expiring this week, so I had to make adjustments to the soup. My hub is one fussy pot especially when it comes to soup, so when he said that the soup is not bad, I just had to document it down! :D



Ingredients
  • 300g tofu
  • 6 meatballs
  • 1/2 carrot sliced (all sank to the bottom of the bowl :P)
  • 1/2 cup beans sprouts
  • 5 cups of chicken stock*
Seasonings
  • 2 tbsp light soy sauce
  • 1 tsp sugar
  • salt to taste
  • a dash of pepper
Method

1) Boil the chicken stock
2) Add carrot and meatbals
3) Add tofu and beans sprouts
4) Once ingredients are cooked, add the seasonings

* I used the unwanted skin and bones from the chicken breast of another dish to prepare the stock. No food wastage and you get a more flavourful soup. I kept in the fridge overnight and when I took it out, the fats from the soup solidifies, making it very easy for me to remove it. Health prevails! :)

Good idea for the fats removal. Will try it too.

yeah, it was actually incidental. Never occur to me that the fats will be frozen at the refrigerator compartment.
