Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 400 grams white fish fillets
- 1 egg white
- 1 tablespoon low-sodium soy sauce
- 1 inch piece, grated fresh ginger
- 4 stalks, finely chopped green onions
- 200 grams whole grain noodles
- 2 bunches, chopped bok choy
- 4 cups low-sodium chicken broth
- 2 cloves, minced garlic
- 1 teaspoon sesame oil
- 0.25 cup, chopped fresh cilantro
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
Wash the white fish fillets under cold water and pat dry with paper towels. Cut the fillets into small pieces and place them in a food processor.
Add the egg white, low-sodium soy sauce, grated ginger, and half of the chopped green onions to the food processor. Blend until a smooth paste forms.
Using a tablespoon, scoop the fish mixture and form into balls approximately 1 inch in diameter. Set the fishballs aside.
Cook the whole grain noodles according to the package instructions. Once cooked, drain and set aside.
In a large pot, bring the low-sodium chicken broth to a boil. Add the minced garlic and simmer for 2 minutes.
Gently drop the fishballs into the simmering broth. Cook the fishballs for about 5-7 minutes, or until they float to the surface and are fully cooked.
Add the chopped bok choy to the broth and cook for another 2-3 minutes until just tender.
In a large serving bowl, divide the cooked noodles evenly among servings. Ladle the hot broth with fishballs and bok choy over the noodles.
Drizzle a few drops of sesame oil over each serving and garnish with the remaining chopped green onions and fresh cilantro.
Season with black pepper to taste before serving. Enjoy a fulfilling and heart-healthy meal.
