Mix the minced meat, breadcrumbs, allspice, garlic, and half of the chopped mint. Season with salt and pepper, and knead in the beaten egg. Form the mixture into walnut-sized balls and fry in a wok (heat the oil thoroughly) over high heat, stirring constantly, until browned. Remove the balls from the wok with a slotted spoon and drain on kitchen paper. Drain all but one tablespoon of the oil from the wok and sauté the bell pepper strips for 2-3 minutes, stirring constantly, until softened. Be careful not to brown them. Now pour in the chicken stock, bring to a boil, and season with salt and pepper. Add the meatballs and simmer for 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally. Then add the remaining mint and walnuts and simmer for 2 minutes. Serve with rice or noodles.
