Ingredients

  • 2 bunches of pokcoy, chopped to your preference (can also be left whole if preferred)
  • 4 beef meatballs, sliced to your preference
  • 3 cloves of garlic, crushed
  • 2 red chilies (adjust to taste for spiciness)
  • 1 teaspoon cooking oil
  • Salt, to taste
  • Mushroom broth or stock (for flavor)
  • Water (as needed)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Aromatics: Heat the cooking oil in a pan over medium heat. Add the crushed garlic and red chilies to the pan. Sauté until the garlic is fragrant and the chilies have softened.

  2. Cook the Main Ingredients: Add the chopped pokcoy and beef meatballs to the pan. Season with salt and mushroom broth or stock. Stir well to combine all the ingredients.

  3. Adjust Consistency: If you prefer a bit of broth with your dish, add a small amount of water to the pan. Allow the mixture to simmer for a short while, just enough to cook the pokcoy and heat the meatballs through.

  4. Final Adjustments: Taste the dish and adjust the seasoning if necessary. Be careful not to overcook the pokcoy; it should remain crisp-tender.

  5. Serve: Once everything is well-combined and cooked to your liking, transfer the dish to a serving bowl. Enjoy your Pokcoy with Beef Meatballs as a delightful main course or a flavorful side dish.

This simple and satisfying recipe highlights the fresh, crisp flavor of pokcoy combined with savory beef meatballs, making it a versatile addition to your culinary repertoire.
