Ingredient Preparation

Process the fresh fish per fish ball requirements: kill and fillet it, then use a knife to score a crosshatch pattern on one side of the fish meat, and cut into 3 cm square pieces. Place in a bowl, mix evenly with fine salt, and marinate briefly.

Oil Blanching

Place an iron wok over high heat, add the cooking oil, and heat to about 70% hot (approximately 170°C). Add the fish balls, switch to low heat, and poach the fish balls until about 60% cooked. Pour into a colander to drain off the oil.
