Preparation

Step 1

1. Mix beef, egg, ginger, leek, white pepper, and salt together.
2. Wash the parsnip and cut into 2 cm chunks.
3. Bring water to a boil. Add parsnip chunks, return to a boil, then simmer 15 minutes.
4. Scoop in spoonfuls of the ground beef mixture to form small meatballs. Simmer 3-5 minutes or until meatballs are cooked through.

Variations: Use ground mutton instead of ground beef to make meatballs.
