Ingredients: seaweed, minced meat, starch, chopped green onion, minced ginger, salt. Step 1: Tear the whole piece of seaweed into pieces.

step2 Soak the shredded seaweed in water, then take it out and drain the water. To make the taste better, you can chop the seaweed a little finer with a knife. Because I used handmade first-water seaweed from Sun Island Fisherman, the leaves were very thin, so I didn’t cut them.

Tips

1. When choosing first-season seaweed, don’t just look at the thickness of the leaves. Because if it is machine-made seaweed, the second step of the processing process is cutting it into pieces. You can cut the wide seaweed into as thin pieces as you want. The harvesting time of seaweed is different, and the growth time is also different, so even the first season of seaweed will be coarse and fine.

2. Nori balls can be fried without other ingredients, just with nori. It can also be paired with vegetables such as carrots, celery, peanuts, etc. I made seaweed meatballs because I had a lot of leftover meat at home.

3. Don’t put too much meat, otherwise the taste of the meat will overwhelm the seaweed after it’s cooked. Onion and ginger are also used to remove the fishy smell of meat. If it is paired with vegetables, onion and ginger are not needed.

4. If the balls do not form when you knead them, there may be too much water and not enough starch. You can add more starch. If there is little water but the dough cannot be formed, add a little egg white, stir and then knead.

5. The combination of seaweed and meat requires a high level of frying process. If the oil temperature is low and the time is short, the meat will not be cooked; if the oil temperature is high and the time is long, the seaweed will become mushy. You can fry one or two first to test the heat and time.
