This cod fish soup uses fresh cod fillet, bok choy and an interesting egg custard known as egg tofu.
It is a light clear soup but with great fish protein. It should be an appetitizing dish for those on a weight loss diet.
Cod fish is a very firm white-fleshed fish and it is great in clear soups and congee or rice soup.
Egg tofu is like silken tofu. I was told that it does not contain tofu, just eggs. I have not verify that yet. But I will.
July 2009 Update
I checked the ingredient list of a couple of brands of egg tofu sold at the Fairprice supermarkets. All except 1 contain non-GMO soy beans. So, it is not true that egg tofu does not contain tofu. The exception was a relatively unknown brand and the ingredient list states soy protein. It is also the cheapest egg tofu on the shelf. Sounds dubious to me.
