Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams white fish fillets
- 2 cloves garlic
- 2 stalks green onions
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 teaspoon sesame oil
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- 100 grams all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 150 milliliters cold water
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 1000 milliliters oil for frying
Instructions
Chop the white fish fillets into small pieces and place them in a food processor.
Add garlic, green onions, soy sauce, sesame oil, cornstarch, salt, and pepper to the fish.
Process the mixture until smooth, then transfer to a bowl.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and cold water to form a batter.
Heat oil in a deep fryer or large pot to 180°C (356°F).
With wet hands, shape the fish mixture into small balls (about 1 tablespoon each) and dip them into the batter.
Carefully drop the battered fish balls into the hot oil, a few at a time, to prevent overcrowding.
Fry the fish balls for 4-5 minutes, or until they are golden brown and cooked through.
Remove the fish balls from the oil with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels.
Repeat with the remaining fish balls.
Serve immediately with a dipping sauce of your choice, such as sweet chili sauce or tartar sauce.
