Meat : Noodles :Meatballs for the carnivorous Marky

I decided to bake some meatballs for my Marky yesterday as it seems like an easy thing to do...So I went online to check out what is needed to make the meatballs and bought everything from NTUC. I also changed the seasonings that the online recipes have to Chinese ones.

The results?
A batch of delicious meatballs with crunchy onion bits and without the oil that usual meatballs have as I baked them with only a little olive oil...Try it!


Easy non-greasy meatballs (Makes 25)









Ingredients:
400g ground beef
1 1/2 tbsp oyster sauce
A pinch of salt
1 tsp black pepper
1 small yellow onion, chopped finely
1 egg
8 heaping tbsp bread crumbs

Method:
1. Marinate ground beef with oyster sauce, salt & black pepper.
(For convenience, place everything in a clean plastic bag & mix)

2. Add yellow onion and egg. Mix well.

3. Slowly add in bread crumbs and mix well as you add. (You should get a moist mixture & the meatball should not fall apart)

4. Shape the meatballs into desired shapes and place on a slightly greased oven tray.
(Use olive oil to grease tray)








5. Bake for ard 15-20 minutes at 200 degrees in a pre-heated oven, flipping the meatballs over after 5-10 minutes.









6. Here you have it! Meatballs for the hungry!









Some ideas on how you can eat your meatballs:

1. Meatball spaghetti with mushroom pasta sauce & fresh tomatoes













2. Meatball pasta with shitake mushrooms in black pepper sauce
