The fried croquettes that must be eaten in the New Year can be made quietly in this way, and it is more fragrant to eat with less grease.
The New Year can make me feel the strong smell of the New Year is still the fireworks at home, the deepest impression is still when I was a child in the countryside every household steamed bun steamed buns, the house is surrounded by steam, fragrant and warm, as well as fried all kinds of balls, oil and fruits, hungry to death to stay aside children, all the people are busy and harmonious. Now people are also very busy, busy with various online stores to buy, even in the countryside parents now accept to process steamed buns outside, so sometimes we feel as if the New Year does not have the feeling of childhood.
My mother-in-law has to fry us some balls every New Year's Day, and my family must have two kinds, one is meatballs, and the other is vegetarian balls. Although the kitchen smoke smells greater after the fried balls, you have to admit that it is very fragrant. In the face of this epidemic, it is not easy to move around at will, this year I have to do my own croquettes, but my approach is not the same as my mother-in-law's, they look at the estimation and say that I am stingy, reluctant to put oil. Things that are too heavy in oil are not only high in heat, but they also make me feel like the kitchen is stained with oil everywhere, so my balls are fried, not fried.
Last time I heard that lotus root is cheap, 10 yuan 3 pounds on the bought some, can not finish eating today let me first practice hands, make a lotus root balls. In fact, a few of us love to eat meatballs, just think that the annual vegetable balls are also very delicious, and then I made a plate of lotus root balls with 2 lotus roots, which is very good. Children who usually refuse to eat vegetables are also very face-giving, eat several of them, crisp on the outside and soft on the inside, bite a mouthful of lotus root fragrance, the more chewy the more fragrant, really delicious. Whether others like it or not, I like it myself.
【Pan-fried lotus root balls】
Ingredients required:
2 lotus roots, 1 egg, 1 tbsp starch, 1 small carrot, 2 chives, 2 slices of ginger, pepper, 1 tbsp oyster sauce, salt and cooking oil.
The steps are as follows:
1, prepare 2 sections of fresh lotus root, to pick the joint is complete, such a lotus root hole is relatively clean, easy to clean.
2, the lotus root peeled and washed, with a silk wiper to rub the silk, because the lotus root holes are more, the polished silk will not be very long.
3: Peel and wash the carrots and chop them, wash and chop the chives, wash and chop the ginger, and then put them together in the lotus root.
4: Add an egg, add oyster sauce, salt, starch and an appropriate amount of cooking oil, stir well together.
5: Brush a layer of cooking oil in a pan, put on disposable gloves, grab a piece of lotus root paste in the palm of your hand, gently squeeze into a small ball, and then put it into the pot.
6, frying balls can not be used on high heat, to prevent the outside paste, the inside is still cooked through the oil, with the whole process of low heat frying. And keep tumbling the balls so that the balls are heated evenly as a whole, so that they look better when fried.
7, wait for the surface of the balls to be fried until brown, light pressure has rebound to cook thoroughly, you can turn off the heat out of the pot.
The fried balls can be eaten directly, but it should be slightly cooled, otherwise it is easy to burn the mouth. You can also make another soup poured and then eaten, I directly squeezed a circle of tomato sauce to eat, children like this kind of collocation the most, not at all disgusted with vegetables. A plate of traditional croquettes was made quietly by me like this, don't control the oil, don't worry about how to deal with the pot of oil in the frying pan, and save the housework of cleaning heavy oil smoke, which is my favorite way. And the taste of the fried balls is also quite good, the skin is crispy, the inside is soft, you can eat the crisp and sweet fragrance of the lotus root, which is much lower than the calories of the meatballs, so rest assured to eat.
