How to make yam meatballs
1.
Let’s deal with the yam first. Iron rod yam is the best if you can buy it. If you can’t buy it, use ordinary yam. replace. Wash and peel the yam, then cut into small pieces, steam in a steamer over high heat and set aside. I steamed it for about fifteen minutes.

Put the steamed yam into a basin and press it into a puree with a rolling pin or spoon. Try to press it as finely as possible.

At this time, prepare the pork stuffing. You can ask the store to grind the meat for you, or you can go home yourself. Grind with a chef's machine. I thought the meat grinders in the supermarket were dirty, so I bought the meat and grinded it myself at home. I would like to emphasize here that the pork you buy must be cleaned and rinsed as many times as possible with running water. I will explain why later.

Start mincing the meat filling. It is best to use three parts fat and seven parts lean pork. After twisting, mix the yam that has just been steamed and pressed into puree.

Add an egg, then pour in cooking wine, salt, white pepper, chopped green onion and garlic Wait for seasoning.
Then I used chopsticks to stir in one direction. I directly used the mixing paddle of the chef's machine instead of manually, and the mixture was evenly mixed quickly.

Finally, add an appropriate amount of starch according to the wet viscosity of the meat filling, just to make the meat filling form a ball. .
Then continue to beat vigorously in one direction with chopsticks, so that the meatballs can be springy. If you have a cooking machine, you should still use machines instead of labor.

After the meat filling is ready, start to make the meatballs. The meat filling will be a little sticky, so put it on your hands. Apply some oil to prevent sticking.
Put the meatballs into a non-stick frying basket lined with tin foil or an air fryer. Try to make the meatballs the same size as possible, otherwise the heat will be different when it goes into the oven or fryer.

Bake in the oven at 190 degrees for about 18-20 minutes. Set the air fryer to 185 degrees and bake for about 15 minutes. Check the color of the meat in the last few minutes. If you want it to be more charred, bake it longer. If you want it to be more tender, take it out after it is golden brown. Because the fryer will force out the oil and water in the meat, it will be sizzling when it comes out of the pan, so there is no need to brush the meatballs with oil.

I made about two pots, and the first pot was eaten quickly. If you still want to eat the leftovers from the second pot the next day, you can heat them at 180 degrees for 7-8 minutes before eating.

Cooking Tips
1. If you want to increase the amount of yam puree, you can The ratio of meat filling to yam is 1:1, but there is no need to add eggs, otherwise the meat filling will be thin and sticky and difficult to form. I feel that the ratio of meat filling to yam 3:2 should be about the same.
2. You can flexibly adjust the flavor of the meat filling, such as five-flavored, curry-flavored or cumin-flavored. After adjusting the meat filling, it is best to fry it in a wok and taste it for saltiness.
3. If you are frying the meatballs, you can increase the proportion of yam in the meatballs, because although the meatballs with more yam are soft, they will be set in the oil pan. But if it is made in the oven or fryer, the meatballs need to be balled up before being put in.
4. The time and temperature are based on my own machine. Everyone’s machine has different temperature differences, so you need to adjust the time flexibly to avoid burning.
