Step 1
Chop the white fish fillets into small pieces and place them in a food processor.

Add garlic, green onions, soy sauce, sesame oil, cornstarch, salt, and pepper to the fish.
Step 3
Process the mixture until smooth, then transfer to a bowl.
Step 4
In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and cold water to form a batter.

With wet hands, shape the fish mixture into small balls (about 1 tablespoon each) and dip them into the batter.
Step 7
Carefully drop the battered fish balls into the hot oil, a few at a time, to prevent overcrowding.
