A few more words

1. Add a little baking powder to make the skin of the fried meatballs crispier It's fragrant, if you don't have it, you can leave it alone.

2. The oil temperature of the fried meatballs should not be too high. If it is too high, the meatballs will be fried too darkly in color, which will affect the appetite. Just fry them slowly over low heat.
