THE SAVORY BROTH

8 cups of chicken broth/stock
2 large green onions, cut into 2 inch pieces
3 garlic cloves, smashed
2 inch piece of fresh ginger, cut into very thin slices
2 lemon grass stalks (2-3 inches) smashed
6 large shrimp shells 
1/2 lemon juice. Squeezed into broth at end
1/2 tsp of fish sauce if broth is not salty enough..TASTE FIRST!
​
To make soup broth, combine chicken stock/broth, green onion, garlic, ginger, lemon grass and shrimp shells into a large pot. Bring mixture to a boil, then reduce heat to simmer for 5 to 10 minutes. This will allow the flavors to infuse into the broth while you prepare the meatballs.

CHICKEN or PORK WONTON MEATBALLS

1/2 cup of shiitake mushrooms finely chopped (can be fresh or frozen) 
6 large shrimp, peeled, deveined and finely chopped until you have a chunky paste
(use shells for soup broth)
1 pound of ground chicken thighs or pork
2 scallions, finely chopped
1/4 cup cilantro chopped
1 TB coconut aminos
1/2 tsp fish sauce (can use salt as substitute)
2 TB coriander powder
2 tsp ginger powder
1/4 tsp ground pepper
1 tsp sesame oil
4 baby bok choy - cleaned, cut in long 1/2 inch strips. Bring 3 cups of water to a boil in medium cooking pot. Add baby bok choy to boiling water for 10 seconds and take out. Put aside for later use. 


​Add finely chopped shiitake mushrooms, chopped shrimp, scallions, cilantro, coconut aminos, fish sauce, coriander powder, ginger powder, ground pepper, and sesame oil to a large mixing bowl.
Use hands to squeeze and mix ingredients evenly. Mixture will be sticky! 
Form mixture into 1 to 1.5 inch balls. Place meatballs into a large cast iron skillet and brown each side over medium heat. 
To finish soup broth, remove aromatics from broth either with a strainer or tongs. 
Add meatballs and juices in the skillet to the broth and simmer for 1- 2 more minutes.
