Braised Fish Balls & Bean Curd Skin

Braised Fish Balls & Bean Curd Skin

 



This is one of my favourite dishes. When I was growing up, I always ate extra helpings of rice whenever my mum cooked this dish. I love home-made fish balls and I love bean curd skins. And when these two favourite  ingredients of mine are combined together and cooked this way, the taste is fabulous.


Ingredients


4 slices of bean curd skin ( foo chook in Cantonese )
30 fish balls
1 egg
3 pieces of star anise
2 rice bowls of water
1 rice bowl of cooking oil for frying the fish balls
4 tbsp of cooking oil for frying half a piece of bean curd skin

Note 1 : To make fish paste, please refer here
Note 2 : The fish paste can be made into fish balls, please refer to fish balls


Sauce Ingredients


1 Chinese soup spoon oyster sauce
1 tsp salt, or to taste
1 1/2 tsp sugar

 Mix all the sauce ingredients in 1 rice bowl of water

 Bean curd skin, star anise and egg

 One piece of bean curd skin.

One piece of bean curd skin broken into two


 These fish balls were dropped into a bowl of hot water to allow them to harden. 
Drain and set aside
