Bakwan Kepiting Soup
for Chinese New Year!!!
crabmeat pork ball with bamboo shoots.
chicken mince is good too.
chopped prawns is a great addition!
now i cheat and add in sotong paste as well.
Lol Alow used to make them so big, someone called them tennis balls and made her a bit angry.
i think my best effort was in 2021, year of the ox.
that year i made a lot of meatballs and they were all bouncy and firm. salt and taste was perfect too!
