Tasty, hearty meal that above all is absolutely gorgeous to look at. I can't wait to serve it to company as it's sure to impress. I found the broth a bit bland for our tastes so I did add red chili paste, but overall, it was a lovely and comforting soup. Rather simple to make too, and the textures also compliment each other well. Thanks for sharing.

I'm so glad you posted this recipe. I saw this in Sunset a few years ago when I was waiting to see my dentist. Before I could copy the recipe my name was called. I went home and searched the web for this recipe and was happy to find this posted. I've cooked this stew many times since and it's always yummy and comforting. Thanks again!

Great recipe. The flavor in the broth was so good, subtle yet voluptuous. I can't figure out how it infuses the whole dish when most of it is in the meatballs but it does. It smells and tastes wonderful. I'll probably use less meat next time since we don't eat a lot of it these days and so it was a bit too meaty for us. I also didn't use cilantro because we really dislike the flavor and I always omit it from recipes.
