Where to find ingredients
You can find these staples at local supermarkets in Suva or Nadi, typically located in the meat aisle and the pantry shelves. For the onion soup mix, check the international aisle or seasoning section. As a substitute for store-bought onion soup mix, use a blend of onion powder, dried parsley, and a pinch of beef stock powder.
Preparation method
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, onion soup mix, egg, and soy sauce.
- Gradually incorporate the flour while mixing thoroughly until you achieve a firm texture that allows you to shape the meatballs without them sticking to your hands.
- Form the mixture into small, bite-sized balls.
- Heat oil in a frying pan and sear the meatballs until they are golden brown on all sides.
- Alternatively, the meatballs can be baked in a preheated oven until cooked through.
