Steemit Iron Chef 2017 #02 - Meatballs Soup with Homemade Noodle From Scratch

For the second round of Steemit Iron-Chef, I am entering this following soup. Today is supposedly the last day of summer for us here in the north. Starting tomorrow temperature will start dropping to below 20 C 😅😅

So to welcoming cold season, we had soup for lunch 😂😂

As the theme of this week is carrot, the meatballs, noodles and soup have carrots in them!

Let's check out how I prepared them!

Homemade Carrot Noodle (best if you have pasta maker obviously, but if you don't, do as I did below😉)

1 c semolina
1 c bread blend flour (you can you white bread flour, all purpose flour, white whole wheat flour, whole wheat flour - whichever you have in pantry)
1 tsp Vegeta powder (or just salt)
2 tbsp olive oil
6 baby carrots, puree with 3 tbsp water
3 tbsp lukewarm water

Mix everything and divide into two portions

Sprinkle your working space generously with semolina.

Take one of the dough and roll it super thin

Slice into long ropes and sprinkle generously with bread blend, roll ropes into a chunk of noodle

Repeat with the other dough

Bring enough water to boil with 2 tbsp water and salt to taste

Drop noodle into boiling water and cook for 5 minutes

Take out noodles with slotted spoon, soak them in cold water for a minute, drain.

'Meatballs'

10 tbsp tapioca starch
10 tbsp flour
3 tbsp vegan chorizo (optional, if not using, adjust tapioca starch, flour, and seasonings)
1/2 tbsp garlic powder
1/2 tbsp onion powder
1/2 tbsp Vegeta powder
2 tsp mushroom powder
1 green onion, thinly sliced
12 baby carrots puree in 5 tbsp hot water (if not using chorizo, 8-10 carrots in 3 tbsp hot water)

Mix everything in a bowl. You should be able to shape mixture into balls

Bring enough water to boil with 2 tbsp olive oil and salt to taste

Drop balls and cook for 15-20 minutes. Balls should be floating and cooked through.

Soup

1 L vegetable broth
10 c water
5 dried shiitake mushroom
2 handful dehydrated veggies (carrots, potatoes, celeries - bought them at Bulk Barn)
3 garlic, thinly sliced
1 green onion, thinly sliced
Vegeta powder to taste
Better Than Bouillon - no beef/no chicken base to taste
White pepper powder to taste

Bring to boil and cook until dehydrated veggies and mushrooms tender

Serve meatballs soup with additional sliced green onion, lime/lemon juice, Indonesian sweet soy sauce (kecap manis), Sriracha Hot sauce and Nori sheet slices.

Enjoy!
