Closeup from above of the clear soup, with veggies and meat balls and bits of dumpling showing. I didn't work from a recipe and weighed & measured nothing. From memory, this is what made up the meat balls: - minced organic meat - homemade sourdough bread crumbs - 1 egg - Korean chilli flakes - kecap manis - homemade ginger powder - homemade garlic powder - freshly ground white pepper - a bit of salt I think that's it..... They taste very well. I think they would do brilliantly as party food. The soup is indeed better on day two. I broke up the dumplings in the pot. Weirdly enough they still resisted being broken apart.

Soups and stews will almost always be better on the second (and third) day.

I had meat over left from dumpling experimenting, so yesterday I made meat balls for the soup.

It must be decades since I did that.

The soup was gorgeous.
