While store-bought or ready-made fish balls offer convenience, homemade fish balls are a rewarding alternative. Making fish balls at home takes time, but it’s worth it. They are made 100% from fresh fish flesh and are completely free from preservatives. For this fish ball noodle soup, the fish bones and skin are for creating the fish soup (CANTONESE YEE MEE).
This forms the foundation for a delicious homemade fish ball soup recipe. The rest comes down to additional ingredients: your choice of noodles, crispy fried shallots, and crispy fried basil leaves (or spring onions as an alternative). Pair it with the homemade spicy dip for an extra kick.
