How to make fish balls

3. Add pork fat and sesame oil to the fish paste in step 2 and mix well.

4. Bring water to a boil, squeeze the fish paste from step 3 into balls and put them into the water, repeat the steps until the fish paste is used up. Cook until the fish balls float on the water and then you can eat them.

How to control the temperature of cooking fish balls

The raw fish balls should be put into a cold water pot and then moved to the fire mouth. As the water temperature in the pot rises, the elasticity of the fish balls increases. When the water in the pot bubbles at the edge of the pot, turn to low heat and keep the water temperature for about half an hour, and the fish balls will be cooked. However, it should be noted that if the water temperature is lower than 60℃, the fish balls will be denatured and lose their viscosity, and the finished product will be loose and even broken and unformed; and if the water temperature exceeds 100℃, the fish balls will appear fibrous, which will affect their taste. The ideal heating temperature of fish balls should be controlled between 80 and 90℃ and kept for half an hour. In short, if we want to make good fish balls, we must ensure that the fish paste is not damaged or lacking in six aspects (water, salt, oil, egg, flour, and flavor); the beaten fish paste is white, moist, tender, smooth, and free of impurities; and if the heat is controlled well during boiling, high-quality fish balls can be made.
