To get started with this recipe, we have to first prepare a few ingredients. You can have light and fluffy meatballs using 15 ingredients and 10 steps. Here is how you cook that.
The ingredients needed to make Light and Fluffy Meatballs:
- Make ready 300 grams Ground pork
- Make ready 1/2 tbsp ☆ Grated ginger
- Take 1 tbsp ☆ Sake
- Get 1/2 tbsp ☆ Soy sauce
- Get 1 dash ☆ Salt and pepper
- Prepare 1 Egg
- Prepare 1/3 block Tofu
- Get 1/2 Onion
- Make ready 2 tbsp Katakuriko

Adding the water to the meat mixture keeps the meatballs light and almost fluffy. I like to drop them directly into the simmering tomato sauce but you can also brown them lightly in the oven before adding to the sauce. Bread soaked in some form of liquid puffs up when cooked, creating little air pockets that makes meatballs extra soft. It works far better than ordinary breadcrumbs which actually has the tendency to make meatballs tough little balls (panko breadcrumbs is ok though), and the Italians have been doing this for years.
Instructions to make Light and Fluffy Meatballs:
- Finely chop the onions. Beat the egg. Drain the tofu lightly.
- Add the ☆ ingredients to the ground pork and mix together. Add the beaten egg in 2 to 3 batches, mixing between additions.
- Add the chopped onions, as well as the tofu, crumbling it as you mix it in. Mix in the katakuriko and the hamburger mixture is done.
- Set the frying oil (not listed) to 340F/170℃. Form round meatballs with spoons, and drop them into the oil to deep fry.
- As long as the meatballs are nicely browned, they don't have to be cooked all the way through (they'll be simmered later on). I made 21 meatballs with the amounts indicated this time.
- Mix the ♦ ingredients with 500 ml of water.
- Heat up a tablespoon of oil in a deep pot, and cook 3 tablespoons of ketchup until fragrant (watch out for the oil spitting).
- When it's fragrant, add the combined ingredients from Step 6 and the meatballs.
- All you need to do now is simmer. You may think there's too much liquid in the pan, but it's fine. Keep simmering over high heat.
- Shake the pot occasionally to coat the meatballs evenly. The sauce will reduce in about 15 minutes.
My new favorite pizza restaurant (Pizzeria Stella in Philadelphia, if anyone is nearby!) makes incredible meatballs. They are baseball sized, doused in a very simple tomato sauce, and are somehow light and fluffy as well as richly flavored (so you don't necessarily feel like you've eaten a baseball, and can move on to pizza). Here's the challenge: The panade (that soaked-bread mixture) is essential for light and moist meatballs, but it's very difficult to mix it in thoroughly without over-beating the meat. For my Swedish meatballs, that wasn't an issue, since I wanted the meat to be heavily mixed, but here I don't—springy, emulsified Italian-American meatballs. Heat olive oil in a large skillet.
