Where to find ingredients
Look for minced beef, onion soup mix, eggs, plain flour, soy sauce, and salt in the chilled meat section, dry soup aisle, baking aisle, and sauces section of major supermarkets or wet markets. If onion soup mix is unavailable, a substitute is not ideal, but a savoury onion seasoning mix can be used in a pinch.
Preparation method
- In a large bowl, mix the minced beef, the packet of onion soup mix, the egg and the soy sauce
- Add the plain flour little by little, mixing well, until you have a firm mixture that lets you shape the meatballs without them sticking to your hands
- Shape the mixture into small balls
- Heat oil in a frying pan and fry the meatballs until browned on all sides
- Alternatively, the meatballs can be baked in a preheated oven
