Simmered Meatballs With Mushrooms

I loves to eat balls.  Noooooo..............what I meant is meatballs!  Be it beef balls, fish balls, prawn balls or meatballs, I like to try out  these recipes.  Usually when making meatballs, we will have to mince up the meat and add in other ingredients and thereafter forming into a ball. And meatballs I am sure is always a welcome to children and the elderly because it is easily chewable to digest in.

Recently I have came across a few bloggers posted some delicious meatballs and of course, I am going to make it at my soonest too.

½ tbsp light soy sauce

½ tsp pepper
½ tsp sesame oil
1 tbsp Shaoxing Wine


1.  Mix Ingredients (A) with marinade, then form the mixture into meat balls.  
     Deep fry in the hot oil at high heat till golden in colour and cooked.  Remove, drain well and keep
     aside.

2.  Leave 2 tbsp oil in the hot wok, fragrant ginger slices and chopped garlic, add in mushrooms, carrot
     Slices and seasoning, stir fry until aromatic.
