Steps to make Home-made Satsuma-age Fish Cakes:
- These are the ingredients. You can see one filet of fish in the photo, but I actually used 2 filets of fish (400 g).
- I used 2 kinds of fish and you can see the difference of the colour in this photo. Blitz the fish in a food processor.
- Transfer the fish into a mortar (with pestle) bowl.
- My mortar and pestle is small, so I ground the fish until smooth in 4 batches. This is a tiring job, but you will have plump fish cakes by doing this process.
- Add the sugar and salt and grind the mixture further. Add the cornstarch dissolved in water and sake, and stir in the wood ear mushrooms and carrot.
- Add the soy sauce and juice from the grated ginger, and shape the mixture into balls. Personally, I believe the wood ear mushrooms and lima beans are essential.
- Deep-fry the fishballs in the oil heated to 100-140˚C for 4-5 minutes. If you use fresh oil, you will have pale-browned fishballs. If the oil has been used many times before, they will be dark-colored.
- It is done. Note: In the photo at Step 5, you can see a naruto sitting next to the fish cakes. I tried to make it for fun.
