Kentang Ball - Potato Ball Soup ala Haig Road

Trying to plan what works for Iftar here when I'm used to scouring the bazaars in Singapore :-) so today I play masak-masak ... Breakfast / brunch was French toast platter, appetizer was Vietnamese Spring Rolls with Nuoc Cham and lunch was kentang balls ala Haig Road ... The soup needs to be really peppery! Syiok!!

My portions was perfect for the 4 of us.

4 large potatoes, chopped into 1 inch pieces, fried and mashed

I season it with salt, pepper and chicken. stock powder. Divide by 4 portions and set aside 

Beef filling

200g of minced beef

1/2 onion, chopped

1 clove garlic, chopped

Salt / Pepper

Sauté the garlic & onions until softened. Add the minced beef, stir fry and season with salt & pepper 

Soup

1 medium size onion

2 clove garlic 

1 tomato (blended) 

1 carrot, chopped

100g of minced beef 

1 tomato, chopped 

Beef stock powder

Water (about 1.5litres)

Salt, sugar, and lots of pepper (according to taste)

Blend the onion & garlic and saute until fragrant. Add the blended tomato pulp. Stir fry for a bit. Add water and the rest of the ingredients and simmer for about half hour until the soup is fully flavored 

Assembling the ball:-

Place a palmful of mashed potatoes on your palm and scoop some minced beef filling. Close it up with the balance potato. Dip in egg and fry until golden.

Pour hot soup over your potato balls and garnish with sliced cucumber, fried shallots and chopped parsley. And then add more pepper to the hot soup!
