This fish cake noodle soup is springy, fragrant, and packed with nutrition for your loved ones. I used the fish skin earlier for salted egg fish skin, and today I'm using the fish meat for this recipe!

Steps

1 hour
  1. 1

    For the fish cakes: Chill the fish fillet for at least 3 hours before blending. Slice the fish thinly before chilling to make blending easier. For a springy texture, blend the fish 5 times, 40 seconds each time. After the first two blends, add the egg yolk. After the third blend, add seasonings, green onions, and dill. For the final blend, mix a little water with the cornstarch or tapioca starch and add to the fish mixture. Blend one last time.

  2. 2

    Rub a little oil on your hands and shape the fish mixture into patties. Heat oil in a pan and fry the fish cakes over medium heat until golden on both sides. Remove and drain on paper towels.

  3. 3

    For the broth: Sauté the fish bones and fish head with a few slices of ginger and shallots to reduce any fishy smell and make the broth clearer. Simmer the fish bones and head with smashed ginger, halved shallots, and salt for 30-45 minutes. You can use a pressure cooker to simmer for 20 minutes.

  4. 4

    To add color to the broth, use annatto seeds or blend tomatoes and sauté with fragrant shallots for extra nutrition. Add this mixture to the broth and simmer for 10 minutes. Adjust seasoning to taste.

  5. 5

    Blanch the rice vermicelli noodles. Slice dill, green onions, culantro, and other fresh herbs as desired, and arrange in serving bowls. Cut the fish cakes into bite-sized pieces, add to the bowls, and ladle hot broth over. Serve with a side of garlic chili fish sauce for extra flavor. Enjoy!
