Detailed explanation of how to make homemade fish balls in your hometown

Overview

In my impression, the fish balls from my hometown are the most delicious, they taste like fresh fish, they are chewy, elastic, smooth and tender. Ever since I came to Guangdong, I always wanted to buy fish balls when I saw them, but I could never taste the delicious taste. I was so disappointed... I stopped buying fish balls for several years. This time my dad came and finally took the opportunity to let him make real fish balls. Hehe, we have to record it carefully for future review.

Ingredients

Steps

1. 1 Prepare appropriate amount of fish, wash and peel. (My fish is very big, so I only took the tail part)

   

2. 2 Blanch it in clean water for 15 minutes to rinse out the color and make the fish meat whiter and more tender.

   

3. 3 Use a knife to scrape the fish meat along the bones.

   

4. 4 Add half a bowl of green onion and ginger water and fish meat into a blender and stir into fish paste.

   

5. 5 It has been stirred very smooth.

   

6. 6 Pour into a larger basin, add appropriate amount of sweet potato flour and salt and stir evenly.

   

7. 7 Whisk vigorously.

   

8. 8 This step is very important and tiring, and your hands will be sore. There is an electric egg beater available. (It’s better to drop a ball into a bowl of water and it floats immediately)

   

9. 9 Pour water into a large pot and heat until it bubbles slightly.

   

10. 10 Grab a handful of fish paste with your left hand and squeeze it out from the tiger's mouth. Dip the spoon in water with your right hand, dig out the small balls and quickly put them into the water.

    

11. 11 When all the fish balls float, take them out.

    

12. 12 Put the fish balls out into cold water to cool down, then drain and eat or refrigerate.
