Detailed Steps for Homemade Fish Balls
Wash the whole fish, cut it into large pieces, and then into small pieces.
Only use egg whites (discard the yolks).
Put all ingredients into a food processor.
Grind the fish into a paste (no specific weight as it is a flexible recipe).
Use a fine strainer to filter out the fish tendons.
The fish paste becomes even smoother.
Boil the water in a pot, then turn off the heat.
Prepare half a bowl of water, dip the spoon in it, then use your left hand to hold the fish paste and use the spoon to scoop out the fish balls from the paste. Put them into the pot to blanch until cooked. After all the fish balls are in the pot, turn on low heat and cook for about 30 seconds. Add appropriate amount of salt and cooking wine to season. The fish balls will be intact and not fall apart.
Take out the fish balls, add a few cilantro leaves for decoration. The homemade fish ball soup is delicious and the fish balls are tender and not dry.
