Recipe

Cooking tips

  • Adding plenty of finely chopped onion to the meat mixture provides moisture, so the meatballs stay juicy and tender inside even after frying.
  • If you stir the meatballs right after putting them in the pan, they can break apart. The secret to a neat shape is to let them cook until a firm crust forms on the surface before touching them.
  • When adding the cornstarch slurry, reduce the heat slightly and stir the sauce continuously as you drizzle it in to avoid lumps and ensure a smooth, thick consistency.

Recommended for

  • Those who prefer soft, easy-to-eat meat dishes in bite-sized pieces rather than large Chinese-style meatballs.
  • Those who want to make a sweet-and-salty braised meatball and soft mushroom dish that works as a kids' side dish or a drinking snack.
