If you want to make fried meatballs crispy and delicious, the key is to choose ingredients, seasoning, breading, and master the oil temperature and frying time. Here's an easy way to make a serving of crispy meatballs:
Meat filling:Choose fresh minced pork, which can also be served with some beef or ground meat for a more flavorful finish.
Seasoning:Salt, pepper, chicken essence, minced green onion, ginger and garlic, light soy sauce, cooking wine, etc.
Brace:Flour and starch mixture.
Egg liquid:Eggs to taste.
Oil:Cooking oil for deep frying in moderation.
Prepare the minced meat:Add the selected minced pork to the seasoning and stir well, trying to stir out the stickiness and elasticity of the meat filling. Marinate for 15-30 minutes.
Stir the minced meat:During the stirring process, you can add some water or eggs in moderation to make the meat filling moister and more tender.
Making meatballs:Roll the marinated meat into just the right amount of balls and keep them in an even shape to ensure a more even frying.
Brace:Coat the meatballs evenly with the flour and starch mixture. You can dip a layer of egg wash and then coat it with dry powder to make the fried meatballs more crispy.
Preheat the oil:Pour enough cooking oil into the pan over a moderate heat and not too hot. You can use chopsticks or a small piece of flour to test the temperature of the oil and see small bubbles popping up.
Fried meatballs:Place the floured meatballs in preheated oil and fry them over medium-low heat to keep the inside of the meatballs cooked through. At the same time, it is not advisable to put too many meatballs at one time, so as not to affect the oil temperature.
Stir-fry until golden brown:Flip the meatballs, making sure they are evenly heated on both sides, and fry until golden brown and crispy. Generally, the frying time is 5-8 minutes, depending on the size of the meatballs and the temperature of the oil.
Oil Control:Remove the fried meatballs and place them on a kitchen paper towel to absorb the oil to make them crispier and reduce excess oil.
Enjoy:Crispy meatballs can be paired with your favorite seasonings, such as chili sauce, sweet and spicy sauce, etc., to add flavor.
The crispy meatballs made in this way are crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, and full of fragrance, making them a delicious and delicious snack. During the frying process, it is necessary to pay attention to the heat to ensure that the meatballs are heated evenly, so as to ensure the best taste.
