Fried Tofu Balls

This can be eaten as snack dipped in Thai sweet chilli sauce or eat as a dish with rice and soup. Here I made cabbage soup - the simplest of all :P
 
 
 



Recipe is from Indonesian recipe book by nutrition and healthy food enthusiast Wied Harry



What you need:

150g prawn (just the meat)
100g minced chicken

1 tsp fried garlic, pulse in a chopper
2 tbsp finely chopped chinese parsley

1 egg, beaten
vegetable oil for frying

For the soup:
4 cloves of garlic, minced
2 tbsp vegetable oil, for sautéing
1L chicken stock
1/4 tsp sugar
1/2 tsp white pepper powder
1 tsp salt
