Hello everyone, I am about ramen. I have been in the Lanzhou beef noodle industry for many years and have rich experience in making various delicacies and snacks. When making meatballs, which part of the pig should we choose? As for the meat part, my answer is: it is best to choose front leg meat. Selection of raw materials for making meatballs
When making meatballs, the best meat we choose is medium rare and medium fat. For the lean meat part, it is best to choose front leg meat, because the front leg meat has a better texture. There are two main reasons why we should add an appropriate amount of fat when preparing meat fillings:
The first is that fat can increase the flavor of the finished meatballs.
The second is: the meat filling with fat meat is more likely to "glue" when we stir the meat filling, and the meatballs made with such meat filling will not be cooked when cooked. Not easy to spread out afterward.
In addition, if we cannot buy front leg meat, we can also use lean meat from other parts, such as tenderloin. In short, the choice of lean meat is not that important. The taste of meatballs has a lot to do with the production method. One of the most important steps is stirring the meat filling. The process of stirring the meat filling is actually the process of adding strength to the meatballs. The texture of the meatballs is closely related to this operation. What a big deal.
In addition, the taste of the meatballs has a lot to do with the water we add. When preparing the meat filling, it is best to replace the water to be added with an equal amount of ice particles, because the low temperature can make The flesh becomes firmer. Sharing the recipe for making meatballs
30g tapioca flour, 5g cornstarch, 2g white pepper, 5g chicken powder, 5g chicken essence, 12g salt, 10g light soy sauce, 5g sesame oil , 2.5 grams of baking powder, 2.5 grams of baking soda, and 260 grams of ice cubes
Finally, a reminder: If you want to save time when making pork meatballs, you can directly mince pork belly into meat fillings. , and it is best to choose pork belly with alternating fat and thin. Do not choose the kind with uneven fat and thin ratio, which will affect the taste of the meatballs.
