Eggless Pork Meatballs in Rice Noodle Soup

I used a slice of regular (toast) wholemeal bread and full cream cow's milk in this recipe. For a gluten and dairy free option, use a slice of gluten-free bread and non-dairy milk. Since the meatballs are eggless, make sure your pan is hot, well oiled and be gentle when turning them over.
Servings: 4

  • 500 g pork mince
  • 1 slice bread
