1. Prepare the Necessary Ingredients

Want to create delicious and tender fried meatballs at home? Prepare simple ingredients that are easy to find! You only need 250 grams of chicken breast fillet, 250 grams of tapioca flour, 100 grams of cornstarch, and 100 ml of ice cubes.

Don’t forget two eggs, salt, ground pepper, MSG, and additional flavors from minced garlic, fried shallots, sesame oil, and chicken broth powder.

With this combination of ingredients, you are ready to start your culinary adventure to make the perfect fried meatballs. The first step is to mix all the main ingredients in the right way to achieve the best results!

2. The Process of Blending the Main Ingredients

To start your culinary adventure in making mouth-watering fried meatballs, the first step is to perfectly blend the chicken breast fillet, eggs, and minced garlic in a blender, along with salt, ground pepper, MSG, fried shallots, broth powder, sesame oil, and ice cubes until the mixture becomes soft and smooth.

This process is not just about mixing; it also creates the ideal texture for meatballs that will puff up perfectly when fried. Once all the ingredients are harmoniously combined, add the cornstarch and blend again until well mixed, because the key to successful fried meatballs lies in a thick and smooth batter, free from lumps that could disrupt the taste.

Make sure every element is well combined so that every bite of these fried meatballs is delicious and satisfying!

3. Mix Tapioca Flour

After the smooth dough is perfectly mixed, it's time to transfer it to a large bowl and add the tapioca flour which will give a chewy touch to the fried meatballs you are preparing.

Stir the dough with a spatula or your hands wrapped in plastic until all the ingredients are well combined, making sure there are no lumps of flour left. Once the dough is evenly mixed, it's time to get creative! Take a spoon and shape the meatballs to the right size, ready to be fried and enjoyed!

4. Fry Until Half Cooked

Once the meatball dough is ready, it's time to fry it the right way! Heat oil in a pan over low heat, then take the meatball mixture using a spoon that has been coated with oil to prevent sticking.

Fry the meatballs until they are half cooked, which we can recognize when the meatballs start to float beautifully on the surface of the oil. After that, remove and drain the meatballs from the oil; this crucial step will ensure that the meatballs continue to puff up perfectly when we fry them again in the final stage. Happy cooking!

5. Shape and Fry Until Crispy

After the meatballs are half-cooked, it's time to get creative! Cut the meatballs with a knife to form beautiful flower petals, and use a fork to ensure cleanliness while cutting.

Next, fry the meatballs in hot oil over low heat for about 30 minutes. This slow frying process will make the fried meatballs bloom perfectly, resulting in a crispy texture that doesn’t easily deflate.

When the color of the meatballs turns golden brown and dry, remove and drain. Now, the fried meatballs are ready to be served, or they could become a tempting business opportunity!
