Homemade Fish Balls<\/strong> are as fun to make as they are to eat! Soft and bouncy, they're popular as street food with spicy fish ball sauce but just as delicious in soups or stir-fries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Fish balls are a popular street food in the Philippines and are so ingrained in our food culture that every Filipino has, for sure, some \"fishball\" childhood memory.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

They are traditionally sold in mobile wooden carts by street vendors who peddle around town. The balls are deep-fried in hot oil until puffed and golden, skewered on wooden sticks, and then dipped in various sauces, ranging from sweet to spicy to sweet and sour.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Unfortunately, to meet rising manufacturing costs and keep prices relatively cheap, the soft, meaty fish balls I remember fondly from my youth are now nothing more than flat disks filled with air. They're made mostly of starch extenders and barely contain fish meat. Fortunately, they're easy to make; you'll have a big batch to stock in the freezer for cravings!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
