2. 1 small onion, finely chopped
3. 4 cloves garlic, minced
4. 1 egg
5. 1/2 cup flour
6. 1/2 cup cornstarch

2. Slowly add the cold water while stirring until you have a nice, smooth, and sticky mixture.  
3. Using a spoon or your hands, roll the mixture into small balls.  
4. Heat up some oil in a deep frying pan over medium-high heat.  
5. Fry the fish balls in batches until they're golden brown and cooked through, about 3-5 minutes for each batch.
