It's time to eat hot pot again. Meatballs are indispensable as "hot pot companions". Such as peeing beef balls, mushroom balls, beef balls, fish balls, shrimp balls, etc. These ingredients are all great ingredients for eating hot pot, and with hot pot dipping, the taste is endless. However, I found that people don't seem to like fish balls very much, so many ingredients of fish balls seem to be a little cold. What's going on here? Let's all have a look!
reason one: the difference between north and south. Fish balls are very popular in the south, but they are not to people's taste in the north.
reason 2: fish balls are not as fragrant as meatballs. When you buy hot pot meatballs in the supermarket, many ingredients are put together. At the same price, people choose meatballs.
reason 3: none of the fish balls on the market are authentic. Almost every household in Chaoshan area makes fish balls, and the fish balls in Chaoshan area are very famous. There are many kinds of fish balls and shrimp balls, which are very popular among consumers. However, if you want to eat real fish balls, you'd better make them yourself. Although selling is not as good as selling outside, eating is more reassuring. The practice of Chaozhou fish balls: use a cooking machine or cut the fish into minced meat, preferably ribs. Add egg white, egg yolk, salt, sugar, pepper, minced onion and ginger, sesame oil, fish sauce and starch into the prepared surimi, and stir it clockwise into a paste. Grab the fish paste with your hands, squeeze a meatball out of the tiger's mouth, scoop it out with a spoon and put it in the prepared cold water. Immerse all the fish balls in a cold water basin, pour them into a pot, boil them with high fire, and then turn the fish balls to medium fire for stewing. Then take it out to dry, freeze or cook.
if you eat authentic Chaoshan fish balls, you will definitely fall in love with them. What do you think is the reason?
