Tofu Meatball Soup

I learnt this when I was staying with my auntie from the Teochew origin. I like it because this is very simple and tasty.

After cooking for awhile, this is really a no-brainer and takes only 30min to prepare in total...!

All ingredients are easily available from the supermarket, easy for a busy mom like me =P

Total  Preparation Time : 30min ( excluding meat marinating earlier)
Feeds : family of 4
Total cost about $7 for this dish!

Steps & ingredients are as follows :

Minced Meat
> Usually comes in packs of 2
> take 1 pack ( 250gr) and defreeze

Fish Paste
> Scrape all of them

Mix Minced Meat & Fish Paste
> Place the Defreezed meat with Fish Paste
> Mix them well and apply the * basic seasoning of meat
> Store in fridge for a few hours before cooking them
( at least 2hours marinating time)

(Usually i would prepare them in the morning. Ok to place overnight when I've no time to prepare the next day)

1 pack of Tofu

Boil water
> Take out the well mixed paste from the fridge
> Nip off in the shape of a ball with a fork and place them into the boiling water

The meat  ball & fish ball will float to the top while the soup is bubbling hot.
