Instructions
- Mix all meatball ingredients together and with wet hands roll into approx. 40 small meatballs. Set aside.
- In a large pot add the canola oil and saute the garlic and ginger until fragrant, 1-2 min. Add the chicken broth, sherry and molasses. Bring up to a boil and simmer for 5 min. Add the meatballs one at a time so they don’t all stick together and simmer for 8 min. Add the cabbage and cook another 5-7 min. until the cabbage is done to your liking.

I love Asian inspired foods! This sound like something I would love! Maybe I’ll add some rice noodles to the broth! And I love those chopsticks…are they joined at the top? I call those training wheels…lol! I’m pinning this! =)
Thanks so much Lillian, yes they are joined at the top. They were a stocking stuffer for my daughter. She is pretty good with regular chop sticks now though!
lol…I still need training wheels on mine!
That’s funny!! You need to get yourself a cute pair then!!
Garlic, ginger, onions with cabbage and chicken in a soup! Perfect cure for the winter shivers.
Thanks so much, we sure do love our soup here!
Happy Blogiversary! Your Asian-flavored meatballs remind me of an appetizer my best friend’s mom used to make for parties – pork and chopped up water chestnuts were the main ingredients. I’d never had something so exotic!
That appetizer sounds amazing. Thanks for coming over!!
Lovely pic. Thanks for joining in wth Food on Friday. Cheers
