Meatballs are a very tasty meat dish, but they are a little more difficult to prepare than cutlets.

The thing is that it is extremely difficult to maintain the desired degree of juiciness, as well as to ensure that the treat does not fall apart.

In this case, chef Yulia Arkhipova , an expert on culinary issues for the online publication BelNovosti, recommends getting rid of the main shortcomings.

What do they consist of?

Using cutlet meat

It is, of course, suitable for making cutlets. But the meatballs will be of poor quality, since the mince will not be juicy enough.

Therefore, when preparing the product, it is worth using more pork.

Incorrect addition of rice

Some people think that the rice should be almost ready, but this is a mistake. On the contrary, in this case it will not "bind" the cutlets.

There is no need to wash the cereal beforehand. Also, many housewives prefer to cook meatballs with raw cereal.

Craze for eggs

It is important to remember that too many eggs will make the meatballs tough. Therefore, it makes no sense to use more than one egg. You can also not add the component at all, since the rice will not allow the components to fall apart.
