Today, I will introduce a private dish made during the Spring Festival to everyone. This dish is an alternative to fish. It is called "Zao Liu Mandarin Fish Ball", which symbolizes family harmony and reunion.
"Zao Liu mandarin fish balls" is similar to the Lu Cai's Zuo fish slices, except that the fish fillets are changed to fish balls. The taste is smoother and more delicious.
The production of lousy dishes varies greatly from north to south. In the south, glutinous rice grains are usually used for production, while the glutinous rice grains in the north are usually processed with rice wine grains to prepare their dishes. The method is; steamed with a pound of rice wine lees for 15 minutes to dry, then add a pound of Shaoxing rice wine and mix well, mix well, pour the slurry into a fine gauze pocket, tie up the bag with a rope and then hang it up. It is best to use a glass or ceramic container to hold it in a container. It is slowly filtered through gauze to make the wine and lees drip into the container. It usually takes several hours. The low liquid is the glutinous juice, which can be used to cook various dishes, such as glutinous fish slices, glutinous chicken slices, etc., which are all well-known representative dishes of Shandong cuisine.
When making gauze pockets, fine-grained gauze needs to be double-layered, while coarse-grained gauze needs four to five layers. It must not be allowed to drip quickly. The slower the dripping speed, the better, and it cannot be used by hand. To squeeze, the only way to filter out the bad juice will be rich in flavor and the juice will be clear.
The method of making today’s "Zao Liu Mandarin Fish Ball" made during the Spring Festival is as follows;"

Tips:

The characteristics of this dish: fish balls are white and moisturizing, the glutinous juice is rich and fragrant, the fish balls are fragrant and soft, and the taste is salty and fresh and slightly sweet.



Tips;

1. The finer the whipped fish paste, the better, so that the pork fat and the onion and ginger seasoning are fully integrated.

2. This kind of fish ball method does not need to put the egg white and starch, the food is the original taste, it is very important to require the heat, otherwise it will not taste good when it is old.

3. When boiling fish balls, do not use boiling water. Be sure to use warm or cold water. It is best if the fish balls can float on the water immediately after being dropped into the cold water pot, so that the boiled fish balls will be smooth and tender and taste very good. After squeezing the fish balls, bring them to a boil over medium heat, and remove them immediately after the water is boiled. Then feed them in a hot water basin to keep the temperature of the fish balls and the taste after they are cooked.

4. When cooking fish balls, thicken the fish balls first, and then add the fish balls. The juice should be slightly wider, so that it can be called yo, and if there is less juice, it can’t be called a yo dish. The thickness of the juice should be mastered. , Neither too thin nor too thick, just can hang the fish balls.

5. The flavor of the gorgon juice is salty, fresh and slightly sweet.
