Ingredients:

Meatballs:

- 250 grams Ground Pork
- 1/2 teaspoon Five-spice Powder
- 1/2 teaspoon Salt
- 1/2 tablespoon Oyster Sauce (optional)
- 1/2 tablespoon Light Soy Sauce
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch

Soup:

- 700g Daikon Radish
- 10 grams Fresh Ginger
- 1-2 tbsp Oil
- Five-spice powder
- Water

Instructions:

1. Prepare Meatballs:
   - Begin by preparing your ground pork meat in a mixing bowl.
   - To the ground pork, add the five-spice powder, salt, oyster sauce, light soy sauce, and cornstarch.
   - Use a spoon or your hands to thoroughly mix the ingredients together, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the meat.
   - Stir the mixture for 3 to 5 minutes, or until it becomes slightly sticky and cohesive.
   - With your hands, shape the mixture into evenly sized meatballs, ensuring they are compact and hold their shape. Set aside.
2. Prepare Daikon Radish:
   - Peel the daikon radish using a vegetable peeler, ensuring to remove all the outer skin.
   - Once peeled, roll-cut the daikon radish into small, irregular-shaped chunks using a knife.
3. Cooking:
   - In a large pot, heat oil over medium-high heat until it shimmers.
   - Add the ginger and sauté for 1 to 2 minutes, or until fragrant and lightly golden brown.
   - Add the prepared daikon radish to the pot.
   - Cook, stirring occasionally, until the pieces start to soften and turn slightly translucent, which should take about 5 minutes.
   - Once the daikon radish begins to brown slightly around the edges, pour enough water into the pot to cover the radish completely. 
   - Once boiling, reduce the heat to medium, allow the soup to simmer gently for approximately 10 minutes.
   - Add the prepared meatballs to the simmering soup, ensuring they are submerged in the liquid.
   - Cover the pot, allow the soup to continue cooking for an additional 10 minutes, or until the meatballs are fully cooked through and tender.
   - Towards the end of the cooking process, add seasonings, garnish with cilantro /celery leaves if desired.
   - Once the meatballs are cooked and the daikon radish is tender, your soup is ready to serve.
