1 kg pink-eye potatoes
2 eggs, lightly beaten
1 egg white, lightly beaten
1/2 cup plain flour
1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg

LEMON GRASS AND SHIITAKE BROTH
1/4 cup thinly sliced lemon grass
1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
100g shiitake mushrooms, sliced
3 cups vegetable stock
2 teaspoons chopped palm sugar
1 birdseye chili, seeded, finely chopped
2 teaspoons fish sauce

Boil, steam or microwave unpeeled potatoes until tender; cool slightly, peel. Mash potatoes, press through a fine sieve. Combine potato with remaining ingredients, refrigerate 30 minutes. Roll tablespoons of mixture into oval shapes. Place a piece of gnocchi in the floured palm of your hand, roll the back of a fork across gnocchi to make indentations. Toss gnocchi lightly in flour. Repeat with remaining gnocchi. Bring large pan of water to boil, add gnocchi in batches, cook 1 minute or until they float, remove with slotted spoon. Serve with lemon grass and shiitake broth.

LEMON GRASS AND SHIITAKE BROTH: Combine all ingredients in large pan, bring to boil, simmer, uncovered, 15 minutes or until reduced by half.
