Ingredients:
For the Nugget Mixture:
- 200 grams of minced beef
- 2 large eggs
- 4 tablespoons of all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon of salt
- 1 teaspoon of sugar
- 1 teaspoon of black pepper
For Coating and Frying:
- Bread crumbs (as needed)
- 2 large eggs, beaten
- Vegetable oil, for frying
Instructions:
-
Prepare the Nugget Mixture: In a large mixing bowl, combine the minced beef, eggs, all-purpose flour, salt, sugar, and black pepper. Mix well until all ingredients are thoroughly incorporated.
-
Shape and Steam: Transfer the mixture into a square or rectangular container (using a container with a flat bottom helps in even slicing). Steam the mixture for approximately 15-30 minutes, or until it is fully cooked through.
-
Cut into Nuggets: Once steamed, remove the mixture from the container and let it cool slightly. Cut the beef mixture into nugget-sized pieces according to your preference.
-
Coat the Nuggets: Dip each nugget piece into the beaten eggs, allowing any excess to drip off. Then, coat the nuggets thoroughly with bread crumbs.
-
Freeze for Best Results: Place the breaded nuggets on a baking sheet and freeze them for about 10 minutes. This step helps the bread crumbs adhere better and ensures a crispier texture when fried.
-
Fry the Nuggets: Heat vegetable oil in a frying pan over medium heat. Fry the nuggets in batches until they turn golden brown and crispy, about 3-4 minutes per side.
-
Serve: Remove the nuggets from the oil and drain on paper towels. Serve hot with your favorite dipping sauce or enjoy them as they are.
These homemade beef nuggets are not only delicious but also a fun way to enjoy a classic treat with a personal touch. Perfect for any occasion, they’re sure to be a hit with family and friends alike!
