Fried beef balls are a beloved dish, crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. Here’s a simple guide to making them at home.
Ingredients:
500g ground beef (preferably with 20% fat for juiciness), 1 small onion (finely minced), 2 cloves garlic (crushed), 1 egg, 2 tbsp breadcrumbs, 1 tsp soy sauce, 1 tsp sesame oil, salt, pepper, and oil for frying.
Steps:
1. Prepare the mixture: In a bowl, combine ground beef, minced onion, garlic, egg, breadcrumbs, soy sauce, sesame oil, salt, and pepper. Mix thoroughly until sticky—avoid overworking to keep the balls tender.
2. Shape the balls: Wet your hands with water to prevent sticking. Scoop a tablespoon of the mixture, roll it into a 1-inch ball, and place it on a plate.
3. Fry the balls: Heat oil in a deep pan or wok over medium heat (350°F/175°C). Carefully drop the balls into the hot oil, frying in batches to avoid crowding. Fry for 4-5 minutes, turning occasionally, until golden brown and cooked through.
4. Drain and serve: Remove with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels. Serve hot with your favorite dipping sauce, such sweet chili or soy-vinegar mix.
Tips: For extra flavor, add grated ginger or a pinch of five-spice powder. Ensure oil is hot enough to seal the balls, preventing them from breaking apart. Enjoy these crispy, savory delights as a snack or main dish!
