unwashed balls develop a slight crust and makes them a little darker.

washed balls have a more neutral taste, so if you want supermarket soupballs you should wash them after cooking. since they will also be a lot more white.

its all up to taste though. currently i have no idea which one i prefer. the taste is almost unnoticeable. its mainly a texture change and even that is almost unoticable.

what do i do with the water from the soup balls?

does anyone know how i can freeze my soup balls without them sticking together?

I've never had a problem just freezing them in a plastic bag or one of those plastic food storage tubs. After they thaw they just fall apart from one another.

Portion them up before you freeze them.

>> No.10471610

>>10471598
well yeah but thats not the point. i want to be able to randomly add a few balls to my soup or a lot for a big diner.

i just want to know how the stuff you buy does not stick together when bought frozen

spread them out on a sheet and let them chill for a bit first then bag them up

>> No.10472268

>>10471610
The commercial ones are frozen on a big conveyor belt passing through a blast chiller so they're kept separate and/or moving as they freeze. That prevents them from "freezing together" because they're already frozen before they are in contact with one another. that's impractical to do at home.

Hence why I suggest portioning them up and freezing them. Make small portions. Grab one if you just want a few for a small meal. Grab multiple if you need more for a big dinner.
