Brilio.net - Meatballs are one of the favorite foods that are usually served with yellow noodles, sliced celery leaves, sprinkled with fried onions, and delicious broth. To add to the enjoyment, you can add sauce, soy sauce, or vinegar.
Meatballs can be made from various ingredients, one of which is beef, which gives a better taste and a smooth and chewy texture. After the beef is ground, mix it with fine spices to taste.
The meatball dough is then molded into a perfect circle. Take enough dough, press it with your palm, and take the dough that comes out between your thumbs using a spoon. Although it looks easy, many people still have difficulty when molding meatball dough, and the process is time-consuming because it must be done one by one.
To get around this, you can imitate the trick done by TikTok user @yuninadzifah0. In one of her videos, this netizen shows a practical way to mold meatballs without a spoon.
As reported by BrilioFood from TikTok @yuninadzifah0 on Sunday (12/1), first put the meatball mixture into a container. Place the container next to a pan of boiling water.
Once done, take enough dough using your hands. Do not press it, but put the dough to the sides of the plate.

Do the same process until the entire edge of the plate is filled with meatballs. Even though it is done quickly, the shape of the meatballs remains perfectly round and the size is also the same.
Once the edges are full, immediately dip the plate into a pot of boiling water. Without waiting long, the molded meatballs will be released and submerged in the boiling water.

Repeat the same process until all the meatball dough is used up. During this molding process, make sure the water in the pan is really boiling. Therefore, the stove fire must remain stable heating the meatball boiling water.
But the process makes the gas wasteful. Well, to get around it, he has one more trick.
"I use firewood to save gas," he said further.
If the meatballs are floating on the surface of the boiling water, it means they are cooked. Drain the meatballs using a strainer.
