Crispy meatballs

Overview

I have been fond of eating croquettes since I was a child, and my mother would fry them for me from time to time to satisfy my craving. Now that I have a family and a career, I use my free time to learn how to make delicious food, and of course I have to learn how to fry my favorite meatballs. Today, we combine pork and lotus root to make some crispy meatballs. The pork is fragrant and delicious, the lotus root is sweet and crisp, and the small meatballs are crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. One bite at a time, it’s so enjoyable!
