Ingredients
- 500 grams cuttlefish
- 1 large egg white
- 2 tablespoons coconut flour
- 2 stalks scallions
- 1 teaspoon fresh ginger
- 2 cloves garlic cloves
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 1 tablespoon fish sauce
- 2 tablespoons coconut oil
Directions
Step 1
Clean the cuttlefish by removing the innards, skin, and cut into smaller pieces for easier processing.
Step 2
In a food processor, add the cuttlefish pieces, egg white, and process until you get a smooth paste.
Step 3
Mince the scallions, ginger, and garlic cloves finely.
Step 4
Transfer the cuttlefish paste to a mixing bowl and add coconut flour, minced scallions, ginger, garlic, salt, black pepper, and fish sauce. Mix thoroughly until well combined.
Step 5
With your hands lightly greased, shape the mixture into small balls, about 1 tablespoon each, and set them onto a plate.
Step 6
In a large non-stick pan, heat the coconut oil over medium heat.
Step 7
Once hot, add the cuttlefish balls in batches, being careful not to overcrowd the pan.
Step 8
Cook the cuttlefish balls for about 3-5 minutes, turning occasionally, until they are golden brown and cooked through.
Step 9
Once cooked, remove the cuttlefish balls from the pan and place them on paper towels to drain any excess oil.
Step 10
Serve the cuttlefish balls warm, with your choice of low-carb dipping sauce or add them to your favorite keto-friendly dishes.
