In a bowl thouroughly combine egg, soya sauce, bread crumbs, the 1 tsp onion and ginger. Add pork and shrimp. Mix well. Shape into 60 small balls using 1 1/2 tsp mixture for each. These must be small or they will not cook properly. In a dutch oven mix the oxo, remaining onion, parsley, bay leaf, rosemary and 10 cups of water. Bring to a boil. Add meatballs. Return to a boil. (As the meatballs cook they rise to the top) cover and simmer for 15 minutes. To serve remove bay leaf and stir in greens I have substituted lean beef for the pork and tuna for the shrimp. When shrimp rings are on sale I'll use one, de-shell them and double my recipe. I usually use a whole head of romaine to a doubled recipe. The romaine goes limp in liauid so some of the romaine is saved and added to the bowl just prior to serving.
