Description
I guess there are a lot of variations of this Fishball Noodle Soup but it all boils down to two main ingredients, fishballs and noodles. I always saw this before in restaurants but never ordered them, I always had the perception of it tasting really light so I never cook them at home as well.

Notes
You can use ready-made wonton soup base mix if you want it easier (this is what my friend used), but if you want to be free in defining the taste of your soup base you can follow or even adjust the recipe below.
I love the recipe for your fish base sauce so simple but yet so delicious. We eat fish balls in hot pot but now that the weather is beyond hot like 95 degrees each day and 100 percent humidity here in your old HK stomping grounds, fish balls and all the items to make hot pot are not so easy to find at the market now. I hope it is cooler where you are now or at least less humidity. Happy cooking! BAM
Looks delicious!!:)
I love everything you do with your exotic spices, broth, noodles, fish. Your dishes are really really charismatic, dear 🙂 That includes this one too 🙂

Raymund,
You used ready made fish balls? I don’t see any ingredients or method to make some. Personally I’d prefer to make my own from scratch because I known that so much available from the Asian supermarket is unfortunately packed with msg.
What a delicious looking soup!
★★★★★
I love to pair it with flat rice noodle 😉
★★★★★
i Guess this recipe will fit in with my homemade yoong tau foo…..
Your soup base sounds delicious! And I like that it’s not too difficult.
This is the perfect soup for a rainy day like today. In fact, any day, this will be just fine. Thanks for sharing the recipe – must try it soon. Ang sarap talaga!
★★★★★
I’ve never tried yellow noodles before but they look so good. And your soup looks so amazing and so comforting
★★★★★
And now you’ve introduced me to a new ingredient, I don’t think I’ve found fish balls before. This soup looks so healthy and flavorful! Is it an ingredient just found in specialty shops??
Guess what, Raymund! We just had exactly this soup last week! I am not kidding! You know what else is great with this soup? I always have a BBQ sauce on the side (buy the BBQ shabu-shabu sauce in tin cans in the shabu-shabu condiment section of Asian stores). I mix the BBQ sauce with Lee Kum Kee’s Chiu Chow Chilli Oil…Ang sarap!
I LOVE FISHBALL NOODLE SOUP! This looks divine 🙂

Dear Raymund,
I love fish ball noodles and there seems to be quite a few versions. My fave is the ones in Hong Kong and Malaysia.
★★★★★
I love fish cakes and fish balls! My mom made them often when I was a kid. I’ve never made them myself, but I enjoy ordering them in restaurants. The whole bowl looks so hearty and delicious.
★★★★★
This looks so good, I’m a sucker for this kind of dish at restaurants, but I’ve never attempted to cook it myself. Your recipe looks so easy and delicious…I’m inspired.

White or red onions would be fine if youre making your own crispy froed garlic For garlic, you can use 3 tbsp but feel free to adjust according to your liking. For the water, I used soup stock.

Hi just use according to you liking. But I suggest to start with a tablespoon then gradually add as you taste.
