Qintong fish cake shrimp ball

Qintong ancient town, surrounded by water, is rich in aquatic products and is famous for its fish, especially "fish cakes" and "shrimp balls".

1. "Fish cake" is made of white fish, followed by herring. Wash fresh fish, peel and bone, and chop into paste. The finer the fish, the better. Put the minced fish into a basin, add ginger, onion juice, cooking wine, egg white and water to make a paste, and stir by hand. At this time, the thickness depends on the feel. Stir until it is thick and salty, and increase the stirring strength to promote its "strength". When it is ripe, take a small piece and put it in clear water to float immediately.

Squeeze the mixed minced fish into cakes by hand, put them in a flat pan (wipe the pan with a little cooked lard so that the surface will not shell and change color), bake them with slow fire, turn them over on both sides until cooked, put them in a sieve, and then cool them. To make a "fish cake", you need to cut the "fish cake" into blocks and add bamboo shoots, pork slices, shredded chicken and green vegetable cores. Add chicken soup and cooked lard to boil and pour a little sesame oil into the bowl when you are out of the pot. When served on the table, it's delicious, white and tender. It's really Qinhu cuisine.

2. "Shrimp ball" comes from "shrimp cake", which is similar to "fish cake". After evolving into a "shrimp ball", it is more refined and tastes better. Take fresh shrimp, shell it, chop it into paste, add 20% fat (pork) paste, add ginger, onion juice, cooking wine, egg white and water chestnut, and make it into paste. The operation is the same as "fish cake". Finally, add salt "paste" and knead the mixed shrimps into balls by hand and fry them in an oil pan (cooked lard). At this time, the key is to master. Low temperature leads to cracking. When the shrimp balls float, scoop them up with a colander, pour out the oil, put them in a sieve, and then cool them.
