Meatballs

My Favourite Food <(^-^)>

Meatballs

A meatball is ground or minced meat rolled into a small ball, sometimes along with other ingredients, such as breadcrumbs, minced onion, eggs, and seasonings.

 
 Meatballs are cooked by frying, baking, steaming, or braising in sauce.


There are many types of meatball using different types of meats and spices. The term is sometimes extended to meatless versions based on vegetables or fish.


The Japanese hamburger steak, hanbāgu, is typically made of ground beef, milk-soaked panko (bread crumbs) and minced, sauteed onions. They are typically eaten with a sauce made from ketchup and Worcestershire sauce. Chinese style meatballs are also popular.


Chinese meatballs (specifically, a dish common in Shanghai cuisine) are most often made of pork and are usually steamed or boiled, either as-is, or with the addition of soy sauce. Large meatballs, called lion's heads, can range in size from about 5 cm to 10 cm in diameter. Smaller varieties, called pork balls, are used in soups.

 
A Cantonese variant, the steamed meatball, is made of beef and served as a dim sum dish. A similar dish is called the beef ball, and the fish ball is yet another variety made from fish ground into a fine paste. In northern China, irregular balls made from minced meat and flour are often deep-fried and eaten for special occasions.


I also enjoyed going to IKEA to eat or but the swedish meatball along with lingonberries. The meatball tend to be small, flavored with warm spices, coated in gravy, and sometimes stabbed with toothpicks, plus lingonberries and stuff. It's simple awesome!
