Fish Ball FAIL!

Now, let me start this by saying the soup was delish, for sure!  But, I wanted fish balls, not broken up pieces of salmon.  Lesson learned, puree the fish in the food processor.  I suppose it would need to be sort of mousse like, so I might try some whipped egg whites folded in.  Hmmm, maybe that will be tomorrow's mission: make fish balls that stay together.

So the rest of the recipe was basic, and not really a recipe.  Here are the details anyway.

1 can coconut milk
2 tbsp Thai green curry paste (yes pre-made)
2 tsp fish sauce
squirt of srirachi
1 box vegetable broth (would normally use chicken, but I had it left over)

Simmer coconut milk and add curry paste, simmer for 5 minutes.  Add broth, squirt srirachi to taste and fish sauce to taste (it can be salty so add it slowly!)

What I tried to do to make salmon balls.

1 can salmon
1 tsp garlic chili paste
squirt sriachi
egg
1 tbsp coconut flour
garlic powder
cilantro leaves (I used dried, but fresh would be better)

Formed into balls and gently placed in broth at slow boil, let them boil for 8 minutes.  They broke apart in the broth.  So there is the fail.  But, as I said still very tasty.  I suppose that is the life when you are learning to cook without things like regular white flour.

So there you have it, Fail Fish Soup....in all its delicious glory!
