Ingredients

• 500 grams white fish fillets (e.g., cod or haddock)
• 1 egg white
• 2 tablespoons cornstarch
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1.5 liters water
• 500 milliliters chicken broth
• 30 grams ginger root, sliced
• 2 garlic cloves, minced
• 2 tablespoons soy sauce
• 1 carrot, sliced
• 200 grams bok choy, chopped
• 3 scallions, chopped
• 0.5 teaspoon white pepper
• 30 grams cilantro, chopped
• 1 teaspoon sesame oil

Directions

Step 1

Rinse the fish fillets under cold running water and pat dry with paper towels. Chop the fish into small pieces.

Step 2

In a food processor, combine the fish, egg white, cornstarch, and salt. Process until it forms a smooth paste.

Step 3

With wet hands, shape the fish paste into small balls, about 1 inch in diameter. Set aside on a plate.

Step 4

In a large pot, bring water and chicken broth to a boil over medium-high heat.

Step 5

Add ginger slices, garlic, and soy sauce to the pot. Boil for 5 minutes to infuse the broth with flavor.

Step 6

Gently drop the fish balls into the boiling broth. Once they float to the surface, let them cook for an additional 5 minutes or until fully cooked.

Step 7

Add the sliced carrot and cook for 3 minutes, then add the chopped bok choy and cook until tender, about 2 minutes more.

Step 8

Season the soup with white pepper and more salt if needed.

Step 9

Serve the soup hot, garnished with chopped scallions, cilantro, and a drizzle of sesame oil.
