Meatballs (Bola-Bola)




Preparation Time: 10 mins
Cooking Time: 20 mins
Yield: 4-6 servings

Ingredients:
½ kilo ground pork
½ ground beef
1 tbsp garlic, minced
1 medium onion, chopped finely
½ cup bread crumbs or ¼ cup all-purpose flour
3 eggs, beaten
1 tsp pepper
1 tbsp salt
cooking oil







Cooking Directions:
1. In a large bowl, mix together the meats with your bare hands. Add the onion, garlic, bread crumbs, eggs, salt and pepper. Blend them all with your hands.
2. Form the mixture into balls with around 1” in diameter. You can use an ice cream scooper for uniformity in weight and size.
3. Roll the balls lightly but not too tight to keep it from getting dry inside and getting dense.
4. Heat the oil and gently drop the meatballs in the pan. Deep fry the meatballs in batches until they turn golden brown. Make sure they are close but not touching each other.
5. Transfer to a plate lined with paper towel to remove the excess oil.
6. Serve with rice and your favorite dipping sauce like catsup or sweet and sour sauce.
7. Enjoy!
