Fish balls can be eaten in many ways. They are delicious when dipped in sauce, deep-fried, and made into soup. It is not difficult to make fish balls that are tender and firm! Follow my recipe this time and you will be able to make homemade fish balls to your satisfaction~



Generally, fish meat with high protein content and low fat content should be used to make fish balls. The high fat content of fish meat will reduce the elasticity of fish balls, because fat will hinder the formation of protein molecular network structure. Secondly, the freshness of fish meat will also affect the quality of fish balls. Fresh fish meat does not undergo protein denaturation, so it is a prerequisite for making fish balls. Conversely, if the fish meat exceeds its autolysis period, the quality of the prepared fish balls will be affected.

1. Wash the slaughtered herring, cut off the head and tail, and cut it into two from the middle. (It is recommended that you use black fish to make fish balls. When cutting, you can put a damp cloth under the cutting board to prevent slippage. You can also let the vegetable farm chef help you directly slice them into fish fillets.)

Continue to cook on high heat until the fish balls float up and when the foam overflows, remove the fish balls and soak them in cool boiled water to let cool. (The water can be changed once during this period to ensure that the water temperature is always cold, and the fish balls will have a firmer texture after the cold water.)

Tips:



TIPS


1/ To make fish balls, usually use grass carp, silver carp, white fish, catfish and other fish meat. But I prefer to use black fish to make fish meat. Because black fish is delicious and has high nutritional value, it is rich in protein, fat, calcium, phosphorus, potassium, iron and various organic acids and other nutrients. It is suitable for physical weakness, hypoproteinemia, spleen and stomach deficiency, malnutrition, and anemia. Human consumption.



2/ You can make a little more fish balls at one time. If you can't finish eating, let it cool in cold water, then remove and drain the water and put it in a fresh-keeping bag, freeze and save, take it out when you eat it and thaw it, and then make your favorite fish balls Good food is fine.
