Recently, many friends sent private messages to help me ask how to make tofu balls. In fact, seemingly simple meatballs are made, but it's not that easy. Many people make tofu balls easily. This is because too much tofu will lead to poor viscosity. If you don't sign up for the group, it will be scattered as soon as it is cooked. How can you make meticulous tofu balls? Aya summed up several aspects today. Tofu balls need food: a piece of tofu, carrots, green onions, salt, oil consumption, sesame oil, five-spice powder and raw eggs.
The first step is to prepare an old piece of tofu in advance. Tender tofu is definitely not good. Old tofu has a hard texture and less water content. It is best to make meatballs and destroy tofu with a spoon. If you think there is still a little water in the tofu, you can squeeze the water with gauze again, which can greatly increase the chances of success.
I bought an old tofu, squeezed some water with gauze, and cut some onions and carrots. Since we didn't put jiaozi in this meatball, it would be better to put some carrots and onions. Add a spoonful of salt, a spoonful of fuel consumption, a little sesame oil, five-spice powder and an egg, and grab them evenly by hand. The purpose of adding raw eggs is to make it difficult to disperse after heating in the pot.
Step 2: After the tofu and seasoning are mixed evenly, add two spoonfuls of cassava starch and mix evenly, which can improve the viscosity of tofu and make it easier to agglomerate. Many people like to squeeze tofu balls with their palms. This operation is fast, but the ball is generally irregular. I like to make meatballs directly and put them in the pot. It is not easy to disperse balls of the same size.
The hot oil in the pot is cooked in the pot for 6 or 7 minutes. If you don't like frying, you can also boil it with water or steam it with water. This behavior of meatballs is very easy to disperse. Roll twice in the middle, even if the meatballs are still hot.
