Chinese Fishball Hot Pot Base Recipe

Features:
  • Simmering
Cuisine:

To make a wonderful fishball, we started with patting fish meat to make it chewy and tender. Then, mix with the marinade and keep stirring to make it sticky as a fishball. After scooping to fish balls, we blanched in 80-degree water to keep their shape and store their freshness inside. Last, decorate with coriander and boost aroma with sesame oil. The fish meat is chewy, light and fresh seafood taste.
