10 cooking steps

  1. Boil the vegetable broth in a large cooking pot.
  2. Put-in the onions and simmer for 10 minutes.
  3. Meanwhile, make the fish paste by combining the fish fillet, tapioca starch, salt, and pepper in a food processor. Mince the mixture until the texture becomes soft.
  4. Transfer the mixture in a mixing bowl. Add the minced scallions and ice cubes. Mix well using your hands until the mixture becomes thick.

  6. Place the scooped mixture in the simmering broth. Continue to simmer until the balls float.
  7. Add the chopped scallions and bok choy. Cook for 5 to 7 minutes.
