It is said that there were fish balls in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period. At that time, a king Chu Ping liked fish very much, so a chef began to make fish balls. Later, it won the love of King Chu Ping, and this dish has been handed down, but it can basically be eaten in Chaoshan area. Fish balls in other places are either not authentic or the fish is not delicious. Counting the time, Chaoshan fish balls have a history of thousands of years. Authentic Chaoshan fish balls are rarely cooked, and most chefs make improved versions.

First of all, Chaoshan fish balls are a dish that many people like, but most people only know how to eat them. I don't know why Chaoshan fish balls are so q-bomb, why Chaoshan fish balls have strong taste, why Chaoshan fish balls have no thorns and so on. These too? Chaoshan fish balls? Frequently faced problems.

In fact, Chaoshan fish balls scrape fish slowly with a knife, so there are no thorns in the fish balls, and the fish balls will be slapped hard with their hands, which is also the fundamental reason for the Q-bomb of Chaoshan fish balls. However, many people may cut corners, so the fish balls made are also elastic. Authentic fish balls need to be played many times until they can be played like table tennis.

Secondly, a chef in ancient times once found that if a fish was constantly beaten and smashed, the fishbone would slowly fall off. After many attempts by the chef, the most primitive method of making fish balls is obtained, which is to smash the fish to remove the fishbone, then stir it into fish paste, add starch, onion and Jiang Shui, stir it evenly, and finally knead it into the shape of fish balls, which is also a classic of Chaoshan fish balls.

Finally, Chaoshan fish balls have now become the most famous dish in Chaoshan. Although many practices are different from those in ancient times, modern practices are actually more scientific, safer and more convenient, so I personally think this is not a destruction of classics, but another way to inherit them.
