Prawn Balls Mushroom Soup 香菇虾球汤

Prawn Balls Mushroom Soup 香菇虾球汤

Recipe source :  "Knorr Chicken Stock"


The soup was infused with the flavour from the Shitake mushrooms. The taste was rather unique. SK lamented that the prawn balls were not as bouncy like fish balls. I suppose it was not meant to be bouncy. Personally, I found the prawn balls rather tasty and unique with its peppery taste. 

Ingredients

250g fresh prawns, shelled & chopped into paste
90g dried Shitake mushrooms, soaked in water to soften
2 cubes chicken stock
Dash of pepper
2 tbsp cornflour
1 egg
1/2 tsp salt
1 tbsp corn oil
