Shrimp and Fish Balls is the simplest of all Chinese recipe, and this is high-end street food. So do not expect to do at home.

Ingredients

• 1 libra shrimp (shelled and deveneined)
• 1/2 libra boneless fish fillet
• 1 egg white
• 4 tablespoons cornstarch
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 teaspoon grated fresh ginger
• 1/4 teaspoon minced garlic
• 1 teaspoon sugar
• 2 tablespoons rice wine
• oil for deep frying

Preparation

• Finely mince shrimp and fish.
• Combine thoroughly with remaining ingredients.
• Shape into 1 1/2″ (4cm) balls. Wet fingers to keep meat from sticking. (Note: use a 1/2 tablespoon measuring spoon to make sure you’ve got balls of pretty much the same size.)
• Deep fry in 350F (175C) oil for 2 to 3 minutes.
• Remove and drain.
• Serve with preferred dipping sauce.
