Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams White fish fillets (cod or haddock)
- 1 Egg
- 2 tablespoons Coconut flour
- 4 Green onions, chopped
- 1 teaspoon Fresh ginger, grated
- 2 Garlic cloves, minced
- 1 tablespoon Fish sauce
- 1 liter Chicken broth
- 2 tablespoons Lime juice
- 200 grams Cabbage, shredded
- 2 tablespoons Cilantro, chopped
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Pepper
- 1 teaspoon Sesame oil
- 0.5 teaspoon Red chili flakes (optional)
Instructions
Begin by preparing the fish balls: In a food processor, combine the white fish fillets, egg, coconut flour, half of the chopped green onions, grated ginger, 1 minced garlic clove, fish sauce, salt, and pepper. Blend until the mixture forms a smooth paste.
Wet your hands to prevent sticking and shape the fish mixture into small balls, approximately 1 inch in diameter. Set them aside on a plate.
In a large pot, heat the sesame oil over medium heat. Add the remaining garlic and lightly sauté until fragrant, about 30 seconds.
Pour the chicken broth into the pot and bring to a boil. Gently add the fish balls into the boiling broth. Reduce the heat and let it simmer for 15 minutes or until the fish balls are cooked through and floating.
Add the shredded cabbage to the broth and simmer for an additional 5 minutes until the cabbage is tender.
Stir in the lime juice and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper to taste. For a spicier soup, add red chili flakes.
Ladle the soup into bowls and garnish with the remaining chopped green onions and cilantro.
Serve hot and enjoy your nutritious keto fish ball soup!
