• 1 tbsp Fresh Ginger Root minced
• 1 pc Spring Onion – Scallion – Green Onion finely chopped
• 1/4 tsp Salt

Soup

• 1 pack Vermicelli Pasta or Mung Bean Noodles
• 450 grams (15.87 oz) Wax gourd – Ash Gourd – White Gourd – Winter Gourd – Tallow Gourd – Ash Pumpkin – Winter Melon – Chinese Preserving Melon – (Alu) Puhul
• 1 tbsp Vegetable Oil

• 1/2 tsp Sesame Oil

• 1/2 tbsp Cilantro Chopped

Preparation:

• Prepare and measure all ingredients accurately ahead of time.

Meatballs:

• In a large bowl, put together all ingredients for meatballs and mix in one direction for about 10 minutes using chopsticks. It is important to use a forceful circular motion until the meat mixture becomes very thick and pasty. However, you may use your bare hands or paddle attachment using an electric mixer at low speed for about 6 to 7 minutes.

• After mixing, divide the meatball mixture into the corresponding number of portions and shape it into a ball. It is good to brush your hand with some oil to avoid sticking. The size should be similar to a golf ball and line on a lightly oiled plate, then refrigerate.

Soup:

• Using a bowl, put cold water and soak the vermicelli noodles for about 15 minutes.

• Afterward, drain the noodles and cut them in half lengthwise, then set them aside.

• Peel the skin of the winter melon, rinse and cut into chunks.

• Using a pot, heat it over medium fire and add 1 tbsp of vegetable oil. Put the white part of scallion and sauté for a minute.

• Add the chicken stock, water, and the winter melon into the pot and shift to high heat to boil the soup.

• Once the soup is boiling, put all meatballs slowly and add the sesame oil and ground white pepper. Bring it to boil again, add the vermicelli noodles and salt.

• Boil the soup again for another 3 to 4 minutes, then garnish it with cilantro, and then serve it hot.
