Description
Pork and Prawn Balls in Aromatic Broth is a dish I adapted from Gordon Ramsay, its a soup dish of pork and prawn balls served in a beef broth infused with Asian flavours.
Ingredients
Pork and Prawn Balls
- 250 g raw prawns, peeled, deveined and finely chopped
- 750 g minced pork (30% fat content)
- 2 tbsp finely chopped chives
- 1 tbsp minced ginger
- 1 tbsp cornstarch
- oil for frying
Aromatic Broth
- 8 cups beef stock
- 1 tbsp oyster sauce
- 1 tbsp soy sauce
- 1 tbsp hoisin sauce
- 1 tsp Chinese five spice powder
- 2 cm piece ginger, sliced
- 1 stalk lemongrass, sliced
Other
- 75–100 g baby spinach leaves
- 2 stalks spring onions, sliced
- fish sauce
- freshly ground black pepper
Instructions
- In a bowl mix all Pork and Prawn Ball ingredients apart from the oil. Once it’s blended really well shape them into golf ball sized meatballs.
- In a frying pan add oil then shallow fry meat balls until brown on all sides, set aside. Drain oil into a separate container then pour a bit of water into the pan while still hot to melt the residue left from frying the balls, reserve this liquid this add more flavour to the broth.
- In a pot combine all Aromatic Broth ingredients and the liquid from the residue then bring it to a boil, lower heat to simmer then gently place the meatballs into the broth. Gently simmer for 10 minutes then turn heat off.
- Add spinach and spring onions, cover pot to cook vegetables with residual heat.
- Season with fish sauce and freshly ground black pepper, serve in soup bowls with rice on the side.

hi there,
What could I use instead of hosin sauce and oyster sauce?
As I don’t like to use bottled sauces due to all the preservatives.
I am afraid it would be hard to replace but definitely there are a lot of home made hosin sauce and oyster sauce that you can do for yourself. Hoisin can be made by using fermented soy bean paste, soy sauce, five spice and brown sugar while oyster sauce can be made with oysters and soy sauce reduction. I also am sure there are preservative free alternatives.
Hi Raumund,
Thanks for letting me know, not to keen on fermented soy bean paste either again preservatives. And not a fan of oysters. Will still make these I’ll just use a small amount of extra soy sauce and maybe some Shao Xing cooking wine
