Fish Paste - Ikan Tenggiri

Technique of making DIY fish cake without preservetives or flour.....

Buy this from the wet market and ensure you buy from a trusted fish monger because not all ikan tenggiri is meant for making fish paste. 
An honest fish monger will let you know whether its the right one ie female pregnant ikan tenggiri. 
Ask him to scrap the flesh out for you and ask him back for the bones. You can use the bones to boil soup ( remember to add some ginger to eliminate the fishy smell.

Here is how it looks like.....

Prepare salty water ie 1 cup of water to 1 tbsp of salt. Mix till delute.

 Put the scrapped fish into a mixer, I am using a Kenwood Mixer. Blend it till smooth and starchy. As you are blending add the salt water bit by bit plus pepper and little sugar.

once its done its supposed to look pale and light and smooth starchy. 

As how much of salty water to add its up you, if the fish is big you may need more the a cup, if the fish is small perhaps less then a cup. 
NOT forgetting, please ADD one beaten EGG White and One tsp of corn flour ( 1 Tsp with 2 tbsp water )

Once its done the paste should look pale and solid and evenly mixed.

Once done prepare a pot of boiling water, once the water is boiling put it on medium.

Try with one little tsp to test if the paste is springy enough and salty enough. If its not springy enough please blend more...;-)

Scrap the ready fish paste out , put it into a pipping bag and cut a hole at the end tip. Not too big .

Press into the water like below.......

Prepare a bowl of drink water ready at the side, once the paste is cook it will float on the water. Please dont overcook otherwise it will be hard . Once its cooked put it into the prepared water.

You can use it to cook fish paste noodle. 

Prepare your soup ( any type of soup ), once its the soup is done, just pour it over the fish paste noodle. Dont need to cook it again otherwise it will become hard.

you can mould it into fish cake or make your own fish ball.......

I usually make all because my son loves fish balls and fish cakes. 

I will keep the fish cake , slice to fry vegy or rice or add into any dish for my superhero lah.

Usually the fish cake is fried , I boil it. Its up to you .
