Homemade Fish Balls Secret

{by ‘Chef’ Moi}

外食时, 老公必定会点咖哩面,福建面, 叉烧饭等油腻食物。很担心他的 cholesterol 会升高。每一次他出差回来时, 我通常会准备一道清淡可口又营养的汤品暖暖他的胃。这道白罗卜鱼丸金针茹汤营养丰富纤维也足, 配一小碗白饭简简单单的蛮不错呢!

When eating out, my husband will definitely order curry noodles, Hokkien mee, char siew rice, and other greasy dishes. i’m very worried that his cholesterol will rise. Every time he returns from work, i usually welcome him with a light, tasty, nutritious soup as a hearty tummy warmer. This radish, fish balls, and enoki mushroom soup is very nutritious and high in fibre. Accompanied with just a small bowl of steam rice, it’s so simple and pretty good too!
