"Fish cake" is made of white fish, followed by herring. Wash the fresh fish, peel and bone them, and chop them into paste. The finer the fish, the better. Put the minced fish in a basin, add ginger, onion juice, cooking wine, egg white and water to make a paste, and mix it by hand. At this time, the thickness depends on the feel. Stir until it is thick and add salt to "collect paste", and the stirring force is increased to promote it to "work hard". When it is mature, take a small piece and put it in clear water to float immediately. Squeeze the mixed minced fish into a flat pan by hand in a pie shape (wipe the pan with a little cooked lard, so that the surface will not be covered with shells and colored), bake it with slow fire, turn it over on both sides until it is cooked, put it in a sieve, and then cool it.
