Cut the cream dory fish meat into smaller pieces for easier processing.

Add the fish meat, chopped white onions, chopped green onions, chopped ginger, garlic powder, sugar, egg whites, fish sauce, oil, cold water or crushed ice, tapioca starch, all-purpose flour, baking powder, salt, and white pepper into a food processor or blender.

Blend the mixture until well combined.

Shape the mixture into small balls, about half an inch in diameter, using an ice cream scoop.

Drop the fishballs into simmering water (not boiling) and cook until they float to the surface, indicating they are done.

Heat oil in a frying pan and fry the fishballs until golden brown.

Prepare the sweet dipping sauce by combining water, sugar, vinegar, soy sauce, ketchup, salt, black pepper, and vaccine in a pot and bringing it to a boil.

Dissolve cornstarch in water and add it to the boiling mixture to thicken the sauce.

For a hot sauce, mix vinegar, sugar, salt, chopped red onions, chopped garlic, and diced cucumber together.
