Where to find ingredients
You can find lean minced beef and staples like flour and eggs at local markets or supermarkets in the meat and dry goods sections. Onion soup mix is available in the spice or soup aisles. If you cannot find onion soup mix, you can use a homemade blend of dried onion flakes, garlic powder, and beef bouillon as a substitute.

- In a large mixing bowl, combine the minced beef, dry onion soup mix, egg, and soy sauce.
- Gradually incorporate the flour while mixing thoroughly until you achieve a firm consistency that allows you to shape the meatballs without 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.
