My Soup for Losing Weight

To prepare the balls, in a bowl, put ground pork, chopped shrimp and crab meat. Add the soy sauce, pepper, rice wine, sugar, cornstarch and sesame oil. Mix them well and marinate for 15 to 20 minutes. Set aside in the fridge.

Once chilled, form the mixture into balls. Use 1/2 tablespoonful of mixture for every ball.

To prepare the soup, in a sauce pan, heat cooking oil and add grated garlic over medium heat. Once the aroma comes out, add chicken broth. Let it boil and turn the heat down to a simmer.

Add the crab-shrimp-pork balls, one by one. Simmer for 15 to 20 minutes. Then add carrot and bamboo shoots. Simmer for another 10 minutes.

Mix cornstarch and water. Add cornstarch and water mixture to the soup. Stir to combine.

Lastly, add beaten egg, stir to combine. Turn off the heat. Serve immediately.

Note: If you like, instead of adding carrots and bamboo shoots…add vegetable roll and fish dumplings but I am not sure if it’s available in your place. Usually these two come in a package of 12 pieces, sold under the Dodo brand.
