Instructions
- Soak the wooden skewers in water for 30 minutes so they don't burn.
- For the sauce, heat the water with the garlic, chilli, sugar and soy sauce, then whisk in the peanut butter until smooth.
- On each skewer, thread alternately a fish ball, a quail egg, a piece of tofu and a mushroom.
- Bring the light stock to the boil in a large pot and keep it simmering.
- Dip the skewers in the stock for 2 to 3 minutes, until piping hot, then cook the vegetables for 2 minutes.
- Drain and arrange the skewers on a plate, then serve with the peanut sauce and crushed peanuts for garnish.
Variations and tips
Vegetarian version. Replace the fish balls with tofu or soy balls and use a vegetable stock.
