Set it aside for 1 hour in the fridge. Pinch off a piece of the meat mixture and gently shape them between your hands to form 1.5 inch (table tennis ball size) pork balls. Continue shaping them until half of the ground meat is used. Add the shiitake mushrooms into the remaining ground meat to form meatballs. Repeat Step 2 of shaping the meatballs until all of the meat is used. Gently place the meatballs in a plate and set them aside. Heat a frying pan with oil and add in the shallots. Cook and stir them until light golden brown. Scoop it out and set it aside. In a small pot, add in water and bring it to boil. Blanch the vegetables for a minute or two. Set it aside and pour the water away. In another larger pot, add in water and bring it to a boil over a high heat. Put in 1 pork stock cube, wolf berries and dried Solomon’s seals. Turn down the stove to medium heat and allow it to simmer for about 15 minutes. Gently add the meatballs and pork balls into the pot and allow it to simmer until it is fully cooked. Add in the Bwnedictine D.O.M herbal liqueur and allow it to simmer for 1 minute. Turn off the heat and set it aside. Scoop the herbal soup enough portion for 1 pax from the larger to the smaller pot. Add the Chinese egg noodle and cook for 2 minutes until it has soften. Put it in a serving bowl. Gently crack an egg into a soup ladle, maintaining that you don’t break the yolk when cracking the egg. Turn down the boiling soup to a simmer and cook the egg until the egg white is set. Bearing in mind that the egg yolk still hasn’t thicken at this moment in time. Remove the egg and gently place the egg onto the noodle. Alternatively, you can crack the egg into the soup and do a quick stir. Repeat Step 10 for the remaining noodle. Place the vegetables, meatballs, pork balls, fried shallots and scallions onto the noodle before pouring the boiling herbal soup. Serve immediately with bird’s eye chilies.
