Fried fish balls
Overview
Making fish balls by yourself should be a relatively tedious business. Every time I make fish balls, I am always in a daze. But for the delicious taste on my tongue, I never tire of it. The fish balls I made before were the kind that could float on top of the soup and were white in color. This kind of fish balls is more troublesome to make. When scraping the fish paste, you only need the white meat of the fish, and the red meat close to the fish skin cannot be used. Moreover, the fish paste and water should be beaten into a fish paste at a ratio of 1:1, and an appropriate amount of lard should be added. Only the fish balls made in this way can be as white as snow, soft and slippery and can float on the soup. Fishermen in Weishan Lake District, Shandong Province call this fish balls Piaotang fish balls. Today I will make fried fish balls, which is simpler than fish balls. It is also convenient for friends who read the post to communicate and operate. The fish continues to be grass carp, because grass carp is generally wild, so the fish balls made have delicate meat and a smooth taste. The most effort required to make fish balls is to scrape the minced fish meat; use a knife to scrape the sliced fish meat at an oblique angle, and the fish meat can be scraped into minced fish meat. However, lazy friends can chop the fish with a knife to make fish sauce. The easiest way is to put the boneless and sliced fish into a food processor and beat it into minced meat. However, minced fish meat minced with a knife or made with a food processor can easily contain small fish bones, so you need to carefully pick them out when mixing the fish meat paste. Mix the minced fish meat with oyster sauce, refined salt and cooking wine and stir well. You can add a little coriander or other vegetable leaves. Use a small spoon to roll the fish paste into fish balls, fry at 60% until slightly brown, and then cook. For side dishes, you can choose seasonal vegetables such as carrots and bell peppers. This dish is delicious, smooth and suitable for the elderly and children.
