Where to find ingredients
You can find these ingredients at any local supermarket or neighborhood grocery store. Look for fresh minced beef in the meat section. For the onion soup mix, check the dried soups or bouillon aisle. If you prefer to substitute the onion soup mix, you can use a combination of finely minced onions, garlic powder, and a dash of beef bouillon.
Preparation method
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the minced beef, the onion soup mix, the egg, and the soy sauce.
- Gradually add the flour, mixing thoroughly until you achieve a firm consistency that allows you to shape the meatballs without them sticking to your hands.
- Shape the mixture into small, uniform balls.
- Heat oil in a skillet and fry the meatballs until they are golden brown on all sides.
- Alternatively, you may bake the meatballs in a preheated oven until cooked through.
