Instructions
Start by preparing the fishballs. In a food processor, add the white fish fillets, coconut aminos, garlic powder, onion powder, black pepper, sea salt, and fresh cilantro.
Pulse the mixture until it's smooth and well combined. If needed, work in batches.
With your hands, form small fish balls approximately 1.5 inches in diameter. Set them aside.
Use a spiralizer to make zucchini noodles from the zucchini. Set aside.
In a large pot over medium heat, add avocado oil.
Once hot, add the minced ginger and garlic, sautéing for about 1 minute until fragrant.
Pour in the chicken stock and bring to a gentle boil.
Add the fishballs to the pot, reducing heat to a simmer. Cook for 6-8 minutes or until the fishballs are cooked through and float to the top.
Stir in lime juice and red chili flakes.
Add the zucchini noodles and julienned carrots to the soup and simmer for an additional 2-3 minutes until the noodles are tender but still firm.
Divide the fishball noodles into serving bowls, ensuring each has an even number of fishballs and plenty of noodles.
Garnish each bowl with sliced scallions before serving.
