Cuanki (Chicken and Shrimp Meatballs Soup)

Hello Lovelies!

It's a freaking beautiful Saturday here in North East BC 😍 +25 C Yahoo! In the morning, around 7 AM, my husband and I went for a stroll around the neighborhood, and it was warm already. Just so lovely. I guess it's okay to assume no more snow would be coming? I hope so 😍 None of my flowers nor plants are showing anything yet though. I don't see any greens sprouting from the ground still. I so can't wait!

At the moment, the boys are helping the father, cleaning up the backyard. Here I am, just watching 🀣 In my defense, I just had lunch, my tummy is too full to do anything, so yep, I'd rather share recipe 😁😁😁😁

I know, I know. Warm season is coming, why am I still making soup(s)? Well back home, daily is a hot day as it is tropical country, soup especially bakso (meatballs soup), is enjoyed even on a super hot day 😁

Meatballs

454 g lean ground chicken
5-6 garlic
1/2 c cooked shrimps
2 tbsp fried onions
2 generous pinches of ground white pepper
2 tbsp chicken bouillon powder
2 1/2 tsp BP
2 tbsp fish sauce
2 tbsp peanut oil
2 eggs
1/2 c + 2 tbsp ice cold water
2 tbsp AP flour
1 1/2 c tapioca starch

1 block extra firm tofu
1 bag of dumpling wrapper
1 bag of wonton wrapper
3 c water for boiling
1 1/2 tbsp chicken bouillon powder
Oil for frying

Soup

5 chicken pieces
2 1/2 quart water
1 green onion
A bunch of cilantro
1 or 2 envelopes of instant spice for Sop (watch the vlog)
1/4 tsp white pepper powder

Now let's prepare the meat paste 1st before we make the meatballs and other goodies 😊

In a food processor, dump ingredients for meatballs and turn them into fine paste.

Now grab the tofu, cut into triangles. Make a slice in the middle without cutting through. Spoon meat paste and repeat steps until all triangles filled up.

Bring water to boil, the lower heat and let the water simmer. Drop tofu into water and cook for 5-10 minutes, without turning up the heat.

Now to make the meatballs. Squeeze some of the paste between your point finger and thumb, and scoop the ball with a spoon, then drop it into the pot where the tofu are. Repeat to make as many meatballs as you like. Once done, then turn up heat and boil for 8 mins.

Meanwhile, grab a dumpling wrapper, spoon meat paste in center and shape into pouches, set aside. You can also shape them into triangles. Grab a wonton wrapper and spread meat paste evenly, set aside. Once done, fry the pouches, the triangles and the paste sheets, until golden brown and crispy, drain on paper towel for excess oil.

Now to make the soup. Boil chicken pieces, remove the floating fats or scum, drop in spring onion and cilantro, and season with the instant spice. If you want more soup, add more water and use up the whole 2 envelopes.
