# Homemade Fish Balls

Cuisine: chinese · Time: 60 minutes · Servings: 4

## Ingredients

- 8 oz tilapia fish fillets
- 2 oz shrimp
- 4 piece cilantro
- 4 piece green onion
- ginger
- dried mandarin orange peel
- 0.5 tsp white pepper
- 1 tsp chicken bouillon
- 1 tsp salt
- 1 tsp sugar
- 3 tbsp cornstarch
- 1 egg
- 5 tbsp water
- 1 tsp sesame oil
- 1 tsp olive oil

## Steps

1. We'll start by finely mincing our tilapia. Beat it down with the blunt edge of our knife to flatten it. Repeat this 1-2 more times to tenderize the fish. We want this to be as tender and paste-like as possible.
2. Just like our fish, we'll finely mince our shrimp.
3. With the blunt side of our knife, spatula, paddle, etc, we'll mix the tilapia and shrimp together, and flatten it. Make sure to do this thoroughly.
4. We'll finely chop some cilantro, green onion.
5. Mix salt, sugar, white pepper, chicken bouillon, egg, cornstarch, and water in a bowl.
6. Add the fish paste and greens to the bowl, and mix thoroughly for 2-3 minutes.
7. This is a traditional technique - we'll take clumps of fish paste and slam it down on the bowl.
8. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes
