Chiken Balls Soup with Broccoli and Chinese Radish (Sup Bola Ayam Lobak)

On the weekend, we went to A.G. Farmer's Market and we spotted a Chinese Radish. I have no idea, what I have to cook with this. I talked with my friend, Myen, at chat room, and she said this is very good for soup. Her mom cooked for her, but she's never tried to cook this.

Okay, it's time to explore and experiment to cook it. I made a soup and served this for dinner.

It's turn out so good. Actually, this vegetable doesn't give you any taste for the soup, so the soup it self should be tasty.

I made easy chicken meatballs instead of just sliced the chicken.

No hurt to try, and I wish I can give you some idea.
