Steamed fish cakes with anchovies and shrimp balls, a Western-style side dish with no cooking skills

Overview

Continuing with my steamed dishes, the bacon fish cake roll last time was delicious, and today I have another steamed dish. This time I chose low-fat fish cakes, 95% fish meat and a small amount of fat and other ingredients, and paired it with shrimp, mushrooms and mushrooms. It is more refreshing and will not taste so greasy. With simple ingredients and no cooking skills, you can make Western-style side dishes at home. Many people don’t know about fish cakes, which are a specialty of Jingzhou. Jingzhou is very rich in aquatic products. As the saying goes, the people who rely on the mountains eat the mountains, and the people who rely on the water eat the water. Jingzhou is located on the edge of the Yangtze River. Many farmers make a living by fishing all year round. The fish here not only have a wide variety of fish, but are also affordable, not harmed by river water pollution, delicious and green products. This cake has been continuously improved by later generations. In terms of materials and production, plump fresh fish is deboned and rinsed, and an appropriate amount of lard or fat is added, minced into minced meat, and seasonings such as egg white, cornstarch, and ginger are added. Mix well and then steam in a cage before eating. Fish cakes have now become the first dish at banquets in Jingzhou. The fish cake is white in color, and people usually spread egg yolk evenly on it when it is eight or nine years old. It not only looks good, but also means that it will lead to a successful career. Its homophony of "fish height" also means that there will be more than enough year after year, and it means rising higher and higher step by step.
