Pork Ball and Radish Soup

This savory pork and radish soup is a comforting dish that combines tender meatballs with soft, flavorful radish in a light yet satisfying broth. The secret lies in the preparation—succulent pork is mixed with fresh scallion, aromatic ginger, a splash of cooking wine, and cornstarch for a perfectly sticky, bouncy texture. Hand-shaped meatballs are gently simmered in water until they float, ensuring a juicy and tender bite. The addition of sweet, earthy radish adds a delightful contrast, cooking until melt-in-your-mouth soft. Simple yet rich in umami, this homestyle recipe is perfect for warming up on chilly days or enjoying as a nourishing meal any time. The balance of textures and flavors makes it a standout dish that’s both easy to prepare and deeply satisfying.
