Steps

1

Fillet the fish, and remove the skin and bones. Or better yet, ask your local fishmonger to fillet the fish for you!
2

This is an easy way to remove the small bones: Remove the skin, then cut alongside the bones on both sides. Alternatively, leave on the skin, cut the fish, then scoop out the flesh with a spoon.
3

Mince the fish with a knife, then sprinkle on 1 teaspoon of katakuriko. I used 1 teaspoon per cut of fish (about 50 g each).
4

Roll each portion into a small ball about 5 g each. I was able to yield 10 balls from 50 g of minced fish.
5

The smaller the dumpling, the easier they are to cook through. Feel free to shape into desired sizes (just be sure to thoroughly cook them through).
6

Put the dumplings into boiling water. When the dumplings float to the top, they are ready. Scoop them out and serve.
7

These can also be frozen! Put them in a storage container, cool, then freeze. (They should be consumed within about a week.)
