Carrot meatballs are a delicious home-cooked dish with a tender and juicy texture. Here are the general steps and tips for making carrot balls and deep-frying them until delicious::
Ingredients: 2 carrots, washed and peeled, cut into small pieces.
Ground pork: to taste.
Eggs: 1 pc.
Bread crumbs or flour: to taste.
Salt and pepper: to taste.
Cooking oil: to taste.
Steps: Prepare the ingredients: Wash and peel the carrots and cut them into small pieces for later use. Put the minced pork in a bowl, add salt and pepper to taste, stir well and set aside.
To make the carrot filling: Place the carrot cubes in a food processor and puree the carrots. Stir together the beaten carrot puree and the seasoned pork filling to make sure they are well combined.
Stir to make meatballs: Roll the well-mixed carrot and pork filling into a moderately sized ball.
Dip in flour or breadcrumbs: Prepare the beaten egg mixture and coat each carrot ball in the flour or breadcrumbs in turn and then the egg wash to ensure that the surface is evenly covered.
Deep-fried meatballs: Pour an appropriate amount of cooking oil into the pan, heat the oil to 70% hot, put the carrot balls wrapped in the egg liquid into the pan one by one, and fry them until golden brown and crispy.
Drain and serve: Drain the fried carrot balls, place them on a paper towel to absorb the oil, and set them on a plate for later use.
Tip: Carrot meatballs taste better when the carrot puree is mixed more evenly with the pork filling.
The oil temperature should not be too high during frying, so as to avoid the outside of the balls from being coke, and the temperature should be kept moderate.
Carrot balls are easy to fry, but the key is to make the carrot and pork filling evenly and control the frying time and oil temperature. The carrot balls are crispy and delicious, crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, making them perfect for home-cooked food.
