Notes: These are about the size of bottle caps...Please pardon my shadow, it likes the limelight...You can use these to decorate pasta or stick them in your bento with a little bit of soy sauce. They can also sit in the freezer for-probably-almost-ever if you put them in ziplock bags.
Mats:
- 1 lbs of Ground Animal Bits - I used 3 turkey patties that were on sale
- 1 Egg
- Bread Crumbs
- 1 Small Onion
- Optional: Green onion
- 1-2 tbsp of Granulated Chicken Stock
- Sakura (or any shape you like) cutter
Casting Sequence:
- Dice the Onions
- Crack the Egg
- Mush the Meat into the Onions and the Egg
- Add the Bread Crumbs a little bit at a time until the mass can form a wad with the consistency of play-dough
- Spread the wad on a flat counter (hopefully lined with aluminum foil) until it's about 1 inch thick - See picture to the right
- Use a cookie cutter (any shape will do, I just found the idea of a meat flower ironic) to break bigger wad into mini-wads
- Heat up the oil to high
- Fry those flowers on each side until they look like fired meatballs (golden-brown for those who have never seen fried food before)
- Pluck those omnomnoms out and let the oil drain a little on a piece of paper towel.
