Prepare the Broth: In a large pot, bring the water to a boil. Once boiling, add the minced garlic, sliced ginger, lemongrass, and kaffir lime leaves. Allow these aromatics to simmer until their fragrant essence fills the kitchen.
-
Add Fish and Fish Balls: After the aromatics have released their wonderful aroma, gently add the gindara fish fillets and fish balls into the pot. Season with salt and mushroom broth seasoning, adjusting to your taste preference.
-
Simmer the Soup: Let the soup simmer until the fish balls are tender, which should take just a few minutes.
-
Incorporate Fresh Ingredients: Next, add the sliced starfruit and the fresh basil leaves to the pot. Be careful not to cook too long to keep the basil vibrant and fresh. Taste the soup and, if it’s too sour, add a little more water to balance the flavors.
-
Serve Immediately: Once everything is well combined and cooked, turn off the heat. Serve the soup hot, ensuring that each bowl has a generous portion of fish, fish balls, and the aromatic broth.
