Said the patient to the doctor. You could be anemic. Wei, Madam!!! Sorry, sorry, this is not where it is going. This is not the right platform to discuss medical conditions.
So we redirect our focus on meatballs. How I wish Princess Ribbon were here. She would have had a field day with this balls thingy. Girl, I hope you are OK. I miss you.
So. Meatballs. Best fried not baked. But laziness got the better of me and I abandoned the frying pan in favor of the oven.
And laziness is the reason I made meatballs. They are easy. Too easy. In fact you can just go simple like this guy's meatballs or you go all complicated like me.
I add onions, mashed potatoes, parsley, an egg, tapioca flour, garlic powder, salt and lots of pepper. Then I mix it all up.
And roll up into balls.
Bake at 200C for about 25 minutes.
Some got slightly browned but others remained pale.
These are for my dinner for next 4 days. All packed and ready to be eaten.
Mentioning about Princess Ribbon, hope she is ok... Later will go ask her how is she...
ReplyDeleteI hope so too. I miss her a lot :(
DeleteLike what you mention, meatball is easy, but lazy for people like me... Want to make, but lazy...
ReplyDeleteEasy also very lazy to do, so you are super lazy lor... LOL!
DeleteI will loves baked than fried, more healthy...
ReplyDeleteEasier also, less messy.
DeleteBaking is so much easier to clean than deep frying. Tastewise should be less oily too. RG will be happy that you linked to him here. :)
ReplyDeleteDefinitely easier. I hate deep frying although I love deep fried food.
DeleteMiss Princess Ribbon too. Hope she and her boys are doing fine. She would be laughing hard at your pale balls joke.
ReplyDeleteI hope so too. I bet many people miss her.
DeleteHonestly, I was thinking of Princess Ribbon too! Yesterday I scrolled down my blog's list and saw her name. Her famous & funny sukak and sukak phrases danced in my head once more. I hope she is well and happy always.
ReplyDeleteNow focus on your pale meat balls.... I sukak this idea of home made balls with own top ingredients to the max. I think it is a good anti-carbo diet to loose weight for me. Are you selling your balls?
SK said bye bye to us and I hope not Princess Ribbon too. I would be so sad.
DeleteMy balls are not for sale LOL!
My meatball recipe is all complicated like yours too (no lazy man version for me)...in fact, I use almost similar ingredients except I substitute tapioca flour with fresh breadcrumbs.
ReplyDeleteI also tried baking them once (after seeing you do it...hehe!) and also got the same outcome of not having the desired browning and crusty exterior (though taste-wise, it's still good). I remember you baking these meatballs in one of your previous post (Food Prep! His) and the meatballs also looked pale then...perhaps you can try adding a bit of a browning agent (like soy sauce or honey) the next time to see if it turns out better looking. Erm...I counted only 23 meatballs, so 6 for each meal...enough meh? Haha! :D
6 balls enough lah with salad added in hah..hah... But I did get tired of them by day 4 :(
DeleteHi Phong Hong, great idea to bake meatballs, less greasy and quick, just leave it for the oven to do the cooking.... These days, I noticed that many are adding potatoes and even soybean residue to the meatballs. Why? Perhaps to consume less meat.
ReplyDeleteHi Kimmy! I put the potatoes as an added binding agent and also it adds bulk and I get more meatballs. Kiamsiap people do like that one hah..hah...
DeleteHahaha nice title!
ReplyDeleteLOL!
DeleteYour balls are pale. Quite! Lol.
ReplyDeleteYes, very. LOL!
DeletePale or brown, they must be very tasty with all those ingredients!! Will try this recipe one fine day!
ReplyDeleteThey were tasty especially dipped in chili sauce :)
DeleteMy balls are simple, nice to hold, great to eat. LOL!!!
ReplyDeleteMuahahahaha!!
DeleteI like how the balls looked like in the first photo. Never mind the colour as long as they taste great. I want to try baking too!
ReplyDeleteYes, they taste good in spite of being so pucat hah..hah...
DeleteI miss Princess Ribbon too. Thinking of it, I have not been seeing her commenting around. Hope she is alright.
ReplyDeleteMeatballs baked?? Somehow, fried sounds better and tastier to me.
You made and baked so many meatballs. Can finish all??
Yes, she has been missing for a while. Busy with the kids I guess especially her baby.
DeleteFried is definitely tastier to me too. Yes, I can finish all but on day 4 I got tired of them hee..hee...
I have never baked them, always fried-best food for my hubby and son😀
ReplyDeleteFried is best! They taste a lot better.
DeleteHa ha ! "Pale balls?!" That's very funny. I like to bake meatballs too ... ya me lazy also.
ReplyDeleteLOL! Me too prefer baking though the fried ones look and taste better.
DeleteColour can be nicer if soy sauce is added :)
ReplyDeleteI'll try that next time :)
DeleteI love balls anytime
ReplyDeleteMe too :)
DeleteHeh, any balls are great balls regardless! (I almost didn't notice the link back)
ReplyDeleteheh..heh... I should try your fuss free recipe one day :)
