Ingredients

tbsp of the fish mixture, shape into a ball. Gently drop the fishball one by one and deep-fry for
3-4 minutes until lightly golden brown. Do not overcrowd the fishball in the pan to ensure that

sauce and vinegar. Bring to boil then add the onion, garlic, sugar and cornstrach (diluted in ¼
cup water). Let it simmer until the sauce thickens.
