Where to find ingredients
You can find these staples at local supermarkets or butcher shops in Port Moresby. Minced beef and eggs are widely available in the fresh produce and chilled aisles. The dry onion soup mix can be found in the soup or seasoning aisle. If unavailable, a blend of dried onion flakes, garlic powder, and beef bouillon serves as a suitable substitute.
Preparation method
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the minced beef, onion soup mix, egg, and 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.
- 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, you may bake the meatballs in a preheated oven until cooked through.
