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.

- 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.
