1.2. How to make tomato sauce meatballs

Step 1: Prepare ingredients

Put on gloves and roll the meat into small, bite-sized balls and place on a plate. Next, put the pan on the stove and add 100ml of cooking oil to the pan. When the oil is hot, add each meatball one by one and fry over medium heat.

You just need to fry the meat first so that it doesn't fall apart when cooking, fry for about 5 minutes until the surface of the meat is slightly golden. After frying the meat, put the meatballs on a clean plate, let it cool and drain the oil.

To help the meat drain faster after frying, you should prepare a plate, line it with a few layers of paper towels and then place the meatballs on top. The paper towels will absorb the oil, helping the dish not to be greasy.

Step 4: Make tomato sauce

Pour the remaining oil from the pan into a bowl, leaving only about 30ml of oil in the pan. Next, add the tomatoes to the pan and stir-fry until soft, add a little water and cook until the mixture becomes thick, season with half a teaspoon of seasoning to taste.

Add the pre-fried meatballs to the sauce pan, stir gently and evenly so that the tomatoes soak into the meat. Cook for another 5-7 minutes until the meat is tender and cooked evenly, season to taste and turn off the heat.

Step 5: Finish

Put the meatballs on a plate with the sauce, garnish with some chopped green onions on top to make the dish more attractive.

The finished tomato sauce meatballs have an eye-catching color and an extremely attractive tomato aroma. The soft, sweet meat blends with the mild sourness of the tomato sauce, seasoned to taste. It is best to enjoy the dish while it is still hot with white rice.
