Ingredients

• 300 grams white fish fillets
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.25 teaspoon white pepper
• 1 large egg white
• 1 tablespoon cornstarch
• 2 tablespoons cold water
• 1 inch piece, sliced ginger
• 400 grams shirataki noodles
• 2 tablespoons soy sauce
• 1 teaspoon sesame oil
• 2 stalks, chopped green onions
• 2 tablespoons, chopped fresh coriander
• 1 teaspoon fish sauce
• 500 ml chicken broth

Directions

Step 1

Start by preparing the fishballs. Chop the white fish fillets into small pieces and place them in a food processor.

Step 2

Add salt, white pepper, egg white, cornstarch, and cold water to the processor. Blend until the mixture is smooth and sticky.

Step 3

Bring a pot of water with the sliced ginger to a simmer. Use wet hands to shape the fish mixture into small balls, approximately 1 inch in diameter.

Step 4

Gently drop the fishballs into the simmering water. Cook for about 5 minutes, or until they float to the surface and are cooked through.

Step 5

Remove the fishballs and set aside. Discard the ginger and reserve the water for later.

Step 6

Rinse the shirataki noodles in cold water according to package instructions. Boil noodles briefly in the ginger-infused water, then drain.

Step 7

In another pot, heat the chicken broth. Add soy sauce, sesame oil, and fish sauce to the broth, and simmer for 5 minutes.

Step 8

Add the bok choy to the broth and cook for 2-3 minutes, until the greens are tender.

Step 9

Divide the shirataki noodles into bowls, top with fishballs, and ladle hot broth and bok choy over them.

Step 10

Garnish with chopped green onions, fresh coriander, and sliced red chili.

Step 11

Serve immediately for a warm, comforting, and low-carb meal.
