Zero cooking skills to make western-style side dishes, steamed fish cakes with shrimp balls with anchovy. Continuing with my steamed cuisine, the bacon fish cake roll was delicious last time, and today I have another steamed cuisine. This time I chose low-fat fish cakes, 95% fish meat and a small amount of fatty meat and other ingredients. It is more refreshing and will not taste so greasy when paired with shrimp and shiitake mushrooms. Simple ingredients, zero cooking skills, home-made Western-style side dishes. Many people don't understand fish cakes, fish cakes are a specialty of Jingzhou. Jingzhou is rich in aquatic products. As the saying goes, "Rely on mountains to eat mountains, and water to draw water." Jingzhou is located on the edge of the Yangtze River. Many farmers make a living by fishing all year round. The fish here are not only diverse, but also affordable. They are not polluted by river water and taste delicious. They are "green products." This cake has been continuously improved by later generations. In the materials and production, the fat fresh fish is taken to remove the thorns, rinsed, added with appropriate amount of pork suet or fat, chopped into mashed meat, and then added with egg white, cornstarch and ginger and other seasonings. After being homogenized, put in a basket and steamed, ready to eat. Fish cakes have now become the top dish at banquets in Jingzhou. Fish cakes are white in color, and people usually smear egg yolks evenly on it when it is mature in eight to nine years. It is not only good-looking, but also means "flying yellow and rising". Its homophonic "Yu Gao" also has the implied meaning of "more than one year after year, rising step by step".
