In addition, there are some ginger or ginger juice, salt, sugar, eggs, starch, water and so on.
Let's briefly talk about the steps first:
Treating fish, cleaning, separating fish meat and fish bones, and scraping fish mud with a knife. Scrape slowly, so that you can shave more delicately.
Scraped fish paste can be stirred again with a blender, but the real Wenzhou fish cakes are all squeezed out by hand. To be clean, put on disposable kitchen film gloves and carefully stir the fish paste again. In jargon, it means "fight" The longer you beat, the more delicate the fish sauce will be. Then add starch (the amount of starch depends on the amount of fish, more starch can be well formed, but the original flavor of fish will be lighter; If it is less, the umami flavor of the fish is stronger, but the taste is rougher and easy to disperse. ) Add a proper amount of water and mix well. If there is too much water, you can add some starch to adjust it, and then add shredded ginger. If ginger juice is better, at least you won't eat ginger, mainly to remove fishy smell. Add eggs, mainly egg whites, and the yolk can be kept. Adding color can improve it. Stir again. In the process of stirring, you can add a proper amount of sugar until it is fine and smooth, not too thin, at least it can be shaped, and it is not easy to turn into water drops when it is lifted. But not as thick as dough. It is recommended to dilute it a little first, because adding salt at last will make it solidify. Salt must be added last.
After all, make them into long oval shapes, fry them in the oil pan until the outer layer is golden yellow, so you don't have to fry them too old, and then set them in the oil pan, so that they won't easily come apart when steaming later. Drain the oil, then steam it in a steamer, without touching the water. (the steam after steaming doesn't matter), steam for about half an hour, then take it out to dry and cut it into the shape in my picture.
Snacks with such characteristics should be cooked often to achieve the real taste! !
