My dad boils the oil in the pot, turns to medium-low heat, squeezes the minced meat into walnut-sized meatballs, and puts one into the pot. He is very skillful and fast. I don’t have more than 5 years of experience in making meatballs. I just squeeze the minced meat into walnut-sized meatballs first, place them one by one on the plate, and then put them into the oil pan one by one to fry until they are golden in color and then take them out
