Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 300 g fresh fishballs
- 250 g egg noodles
- 1 liter chicken or fish stock
- 2 bunches bok choy
- 3 cloves garlic
- 1 inch piece ginger
- 2 stalks spring onions
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon fish sauce
- 0.5 teaspoon white pepper
- 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
Instructions
Begin by bringing a large pot of water to a boil. Once boiling, add the egg noodles and cook according to the package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
In a separate pot, heat the vegetable oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and ginger, sautéing until fragrant, about 1-2 minutes.
Add the chicken or fish stock to the pot and bring it to a gentle boil.
Carefully add the fishballs into the broth. Allow them to cook until they float to the surface, indicating they are done, which should take about 5-7 minutes.
Add the bok choy and let them simmer in the broth for 2 minutes until just tender but still vibrant in color.
Season the broth with soy sauce, fish sauce, white pepper, and salt. Adjust seasoning to taste.
Divide the cooked noodles into serving bowls.
Ladle the hot broth, fishballs, and bok choy over the noodles.
Garnish with sliced spring onions and a dash more of white pepper if desired.
Serve immediately, ensuring each bowl has a good mix of noodles, fishballs, broth, and greens.
