Cornmeal Meatballs
1.
Prepare the ingredients for the rice cake: Xinliang corn flour, flour, yeast, salt, onion, celery sticks, carrots, prawns (the egg is temporarily absent, I will catch it for a while);
2.
Put corn flour, flour, yeast, salt, eggs, and water into the bowl at the same time. Do not add the water all at once, but add it gradually according to the state of the batter;
3.
Use a spoon to mix all the ingredients. The stirred corn batter should be this kind of paste. It can form a lump in the spoon but cannot flow down. If the batter is too thin, it will be more difficult to swell up later;
4.
Covered with plastic wrap and fermented in a warm and humid place; I fermented in an oven at 35 degrees. If the room temperature is low, you can put water in a large steamer to heat it and turn it off. Put the corn batter in the pot to ferment, artificially made Warm and humid environment;
5.
When fermenting the batter, treat the vegetables: finely dice carrots, onions, and celery, save a little onion and celery leaves for the final garnish; cut the prawns longitudinally from the middle to the belly, and use the two thick pieces separately. Use the tail alone;
6.
The fermented corn batter is 2-2.5 times the original size;
7.
Put the diced vegetables (except the shrimp) and 2.7 grams of double-effect aluminum-free baking powder into the corn batter, and stir evenly; because the corn batter is heavy, I don’t need a second fermentation to fry it directly, so I put a little baking powder and the amount is no more than 2% of the amount of flour; I used 150 grams of cornmeal and 50 grams of wheat flour. The total amount is 200 grams. The maximum is 4 grams. The baking powder should not be put in early, just put it in the pot before the operation. Prevent premature failure due to contact with water and acid;
8.
Put the octopus balls frying pan of Xinsite multi-function pot on the pan, heating at level 1, and brush a little oil on the frying pan with a brush;
9.
Use a small spoon to scoop the corn vegetable paste into the small meatball nest, and it will be flat on the surface;
10.
Turn the pot to gear 4 to increase the heat, and the small balls will slowly rise up. Place the shrimp on the surface;
11.
When the surface is slightly dry, the bottom is shaped and you can move it with a touch of chopsticks, turn it over and fry it; see if these cute little ones are cute?
12.
Continue to heat with 4 levels. When the side with shrimps is mature and shaped and colored, turn it over again, and sprinkle the diced onion and celery leaves separately on top. With the addition of green, purple and white, the small balls are all added. Come alive, I can’t wait to jump into my mouth right away.
13.
The cornmeal balls made cakes are soft enough to taste better than cakes.
Tips:
1. Baking powder is a food-based compound leavening agent, mainly used for rapid loosening and expansion of food; it is a white powder made of soda powder combined with other acidic materials and corn flour as a filler. When the baking powder comes into contact with water, the acidic and alkaline powders dissolve in the water at the same time to react, and some of them will start to release carbon dioxide, making the food swell and soft. In the past, baking powder contained alum, and long-term consumption of a large amount of it will cause symptoms such as brain atrophy and degeneration, but now there is no such danger when using aluminum-free baking powder, and the amount of baking powder is only used occasionally in all foods, so Don’t reject baking powder when you hear it;
2. There is a lack of gluten in corn flour, so it is not easy to rise when placed alone. Add a small amount of flour to increase the gluten, and the cake will also have supportive force.
