Fried Meatballs pictures (1 of 4)This is a Chinese meatball recipe with ground pork and spiced with five-spice powder. Fried meatballs is a homey recipe, one that you can prepare every day for your family without much hassle: a recipe that is great for children and adults alike. I finished almost half of the serving just as soon as the meatballs were out of the wok; it’s delicious as is, and great as an entree for home-cooked Chinese meal. You can also serve this meatball as an appetizer…
The only special ingredient in this fried meatball recipe is the fish paste, which makes the fried meatball extra yummy. I use frozen fish paste. If you can’t find it, you can also substitute it with minced shrimp. Enjoy!
Fried Meat Balls
Ingredients:
8 oz ground pork
1 egg
1/4 small onion, diced
2 oz fish paste
1/4 teaspoon five-spice powder
1/2 tablespoon fish sauce
3 dashes white pepper
Pinch of salt
Oil, for frying
Method:
Mix all the ingredients (except the oil) in a bowl and blend well. The mixture should be sticky.
Heat up a wok with some oil enough to cover half of the meatballs (shallow fry the meatballs). Wet your hands with some water. Using a teaspoon, scoop up some of the meatball mixture and shape it into a small. Drop the meatball into the wok to fry. Repeat the same until you use up the mixture.
Use the spatula to turn the meatballs to fry the other side until they are cooked. Serve hot.
