Shrimp Ball Soup
Shrimp Ball Soup is a delightful dish made with shrimp balls in a broth. The shrimp balls are typically made by combining minced shrimp with a variety of seasonings such as ginger, garlic, and spring onions. They’re then formed into small, bite-sized balls and cooked in a savory broth. The broth is usually made with a combination of chicken or vegetable stock, along with additional seasonings and aromatics for a burst of flavor.
Ingredients
- 1/2 pounds fresh shrimp peeled and deveined
- 1 tablespoon minced ginger
- 2 cloves garlic minced
- 2 spring onions finely chopped
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce
- 1 teaspoon sesame oil
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon white pepper
- 4 cups chicken or vegetable broth
- 1 cup water
- 1 carrot thinly sliced
- 1 cup bok choy or spinach, chopped
Optional for Garnish:
- cilantro
- green onions chopped
Instructions
- In a food processor, blend the shrimp, ginger, garlic, spring onions, soy sauce, sesame oil, salt, and white pepper until well combined. The mixture should form a sticky paste.
- Wet your hands slightly to prevent sticking and shape the shrimp mixture into small, bite-sized balls. Place them on a plate or tray and set aside.
- In a large pot, bring the chicken or vegetable broth and water to a boil over medium heat.
- Carefully drop the shrimp balls into the boiling broth and let them cook for about 5 minutes or until they turn pink and float to the surface.
- Add the sliced carrot and chopped bok choy or spinach to the pot and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until the vegetables are tender.
- Taste the soup and adjust the seasoning if needed by adding more salt or pepper.
- Ladle the soup into bowls, garnish with cilantro or chopped green onions if desired, and serve hot.
