Pork and Shrimp Meatballs in Soup Recipe

Make pork balls: Place ground pork and shrimp in a large bowl. Mix in scallions, garlic, ginger, liquid seasoning, sesame oil, and freshly ground pepper. Form into 1-inch balls. Set aside.

Meanwhile, pour pork broth into a large pot over med. heat. Bring to a boil then lower to a simmer. Drop pork balls into the simmering soup. Cook until balls float to the surface. Skim any scum that rises to the surface, and discard.

Add green peas, then cabbage, and cook until both are tender. Stir in malunggay leaves just before removing from the heat. Ladle into bowls, and serve hot.
