Last updated on 2023-09-11T20:01:19 by Olayemi Michael Bsc (nutrition and dietetics) RDN
Fish Balls are dishes popular in southern China, Hong Kong, Macau, Iceland, and Taiwan. I chose the recipe owing to its richness in protein, vitamins, and minerals. It is very nutrient-dense and can be practiced easily at home.

- 1 lb. white fish
- 1 egg
- 3 oz. (2/3 cup) cornflour (cornstarch)

Instruction

- Beat the egg and add to the fish with the cornflour (cornstarch)
- Beat well until smooth and evenly blended
- Put the fish stock, lemon juice, and oil in a shallow pan, and bring to a boil.
- Chop the spring onions (scallions) and crush the garlic, add to the stock, and bring back to the boil.
- Shape the fish mixture into small balls, each the size of a pigeon’s egg.
Lower the fish balls, a few at a time, into the stock, and cook gently for about 5 minutes. Lift out and drain.
