Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams lean ground chicken
- 50 grams tapioca flour
- 1 egg white
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 0.5 teaspoon white pepper
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 50 ml ice water
- 1 liter beef broth, low sodium
- 2 tablespoons spring onions, chopped
- 1 celery stalk, chopped
- 2 tablespoons fried shallots
- 1 carrot, peeled and sliced
- 100 grams baby bok choy, chopped

Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the lean ground chicken, tapioca flour, egg white, minced garlic, white pepper, salt, and ice water.
Mix the ingredients thoroughly until the mixture becomes smooth and slightly sticky.
Shape the mixture into small balls, approximately the size of a ping-pong ball, and set aside.
Bring the low sodium beef broth to a gentle boil in a large pot over medium-high heat.
Once boiling, carefully drop the meatballs into the broth, cook until they float to the surface and are cooked through, about 10 minutes.
Add the sliced carrot and chopped celery to the broth and continue simmering for another 10 minutes until the vegetables are tender.
Stir in the chopped baby bok choy and let it cook for about 2-3 minutes until wilted.
Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper to taste.
Ladle the soup into bowls and garnish with chopped spring onions and fried shallots.
Serve hot with lime wedges on the side for added acidity and flavor.
