Water5 1/2 cups1.4 L

Put potato and 1/2 of beef cubes into food processor. Pulse with on/off motion until potato is finely chopped.

Add remaining beef cubes and next 6 ingredients. Process until puréed. Traditionally, balls are formed by continually pushing and rolling 1 tbsp. (15 mL) beef mixture against your palm with thumb and fingers of same hand for about 6 times in total for each ball. This produces a very firm-textured ball that is chewy once cooked. However, the balls are very firm even if simply rolled. Makes about 50 meatballs.

Heat broth, water, chili sauce and second amount of fish sauce in large saucepan until boiling. Cook meatballs, in batches, uncovered, until meatballs are floating on surface. Time cooking for 5 minutes. Serve about 4 to 5 meatballs with about 1/4 cup (60 mL) broth.

Sprinkle with green onion and pepper.
