Ingredients

• 1.5 liter water
• 1 medium size carrot, cut into 1/2 cm slices
• 2 tomatoes, cut into quarters
• 250 gram pickled mustard green (Indonesian: kiam chai/sayur asin)
• 1 block of firm tofu, about 200 gram, cut into cubes
• 25 fish balls, make a crisscross cut on each of the fish ball
• 1 teaspoon sugar

• 1 tablespoon fried shallot (Indonesian: bawang goreng)

Instructions

1. Place water, carrot, and tomatoes in a pot and bring to a boil.
2. Add mustard green and bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer until the carrot is tender.
3. Meanwhile, combine garlic and oil in a microwaveable bowl and heat until garlic is golden brown. I use a 450 Watt setting for 3 minutes. You can fry your garlic in a frying pan if you wish.
4. Add tofu and fish balls and bring to a boil. Season with sugar, salt, and pepper. Adjust the seasoning as needed.
5. Pour the garlic oil and garnish with scallions and fried shallot. Turn off heat and serve immediately.
