Fried Hokkien Meatballs

Ingredients: 

• 1 kg minced meat (best to have a mixture of lean and some fats) 
• 300g de-shelled prawn (minced) 
• $2 of Fish paste
• 6 pcs Water chestnut (chopped)
• 1 small carrot (chopped)
• 3 stalks of spring onion (chopped) 
• 6 pcs cream crackers (crushed)
• 1 tbsp soy sauce
• 1 tsp salt
• 1 tsp pepper
• 1 tbsp sesame oil
• 1 egg (lightly beaten)
• 3 tbsp sweet potato / potato flour
• Oil (deep frying)

Steps: 

1. Mix all the ingredients thoroughly and up mixture and hit against the bowl. This is to get the meat mixture to become sticky. Then set aside for 1/2 hr in chiller. 

2. Roll the minced meat mixture into bite size meatballs with wet hands (so that they won't stick to the palms).

3. Ensure sufficient oil in a small pot and heat up till it’s hot. Deep fry in batches till golden brown and drain on kitchen towel. Serve with some dipping sauce or just eat in its own! 

Note: You can make more and freeze these meatballs and heat up using airfryer for quick meals. Just the meatballs till it’s cooked but not golden brown on the outside. Pack in ziplock bag when it’s cooled and freeze.
