Ingredients
1 kg lean minced meat
1 packet onion soup mix (powdered)
1 egg
3 tablespoons wheat flour (approximately)
1 tablespoon shoyu sauce
Salt to taste (if needed)
1 packet onion soup mix (powdered)
1 egg
3 tablespoons wheat flour (approximately)
1 tablespoon shoyu sauce
Salt to taste (if needed)
Where to find ingredients
Look for the ingredients in the meat section, baking aisle, and spice or soup mix shelves of your local supermarket or neighbourhood kiryana; shoyu is usually found with soy sauces. If needed, use an unsalted soup mix as a substitute for onion soup mix.
Preparation method
- In a large bowl, mix the minced meat, the packet of onion soup mix, the egg, and the shoyu sauce
- Add the wheat flour gradually, mixing well, until you get a firm mixture that lets you shape the meatballs without them sticking to your hands
- Shape small balls with the mixture
- Heat oil in a frying pan and fry the meatballs until golden on all sides
- Alternatively, the meatballs can be baked in a preheated oven
