  • Maybe you made a mistake when weighing, if your dough is too liquid it probably lacks cornstarch?

  • I followed a recipe for fish balls containing squid, prawns, coriander, egg and cornflour. Unfortunately, despite leaving for 24 hours to firm up, it hasn't, and they are still squishy. As this recipe has to be formed into balls and coated with flavoured breadcrumbs to be fried. How can I get the mixture to firm up? I'm at my wits-end and do not want to throw it away. Squid and prawns are not cheap!
