  • Add the the water, 1 tablespoon light soy sauce, spring onion (green part) to a medium saucepan and bring to a boil then turn off the heat but leave on same burner.
  • Now to make the pork balls, use one hand and grab a handful of pork mixture, form a circle with your index finger and thumb, squeeze your hand to force the mixture from the circle, then use a spoon and scoop off a meat ball and place the meat ball in the hot water.
  • Repeat until all the mixture is used and in the pot, average about 20-24 pork balls. Turn on the heat, add the 1 slice of ginger, and bring to a simmer, skim off any foam that forms on top. Simmer for 8-10 minutes.
