Prawn Ball and Rice Cake Soup

Prawn Ball and Rice Cake Soup

This savory Shrimp and Rice Cake Soup is a comforting and flavorful dish that combines tender shrimp paste, chewy rice cakes, and fresh vegetables in a fragrant broth. The shrimp is finely chopped into a smooth paste, blended with red potato starch and egg white for a delicate texture, then formed into bite-sized dumplings. Infused with aromatic ginger, garlic scallion roots, and a hint of red chili, the broth gains depth with a touch of soy sauce for rich color. Fresh green vegetables and garlic leaves add a vibrant finish, while optional rice cakes make it heartier. Perfect for a light yet satisfying meal, this soup balances spice, umami, and freshness in every spoonful. Quick to prepare and endlessly customizable, it’s a must-try for seafood lovers!
