Spicy Beef ball soup with silken tofu

Spicy Beef ball soup with silken tofu

Today I am going to make a spicy soup with beef balls together with silken tofu which is uncommon. Beef is a red meat. We do not consume often as chicken. I have written many chicken recipes. To make a difference I tried beef ball with silken tofu.
