Not everyone knows that starch can be added to minced meat.

This unusual component helps to make the meat dish better quality and tastier.

What are the benefits of starch?

A great replacement for eggs

Many cooks know that chicken eggs, despite all their advantages, have one drawback: the cutlets can turn out too tough.

Regular potato starch can perform the same functions as eggs - the cutlets will hold their shape. However, the dish will remain soft and tasty.

Storage

If you add potato starch to the minced meat, these cutlets will retain their original softness for several days.

Quality

The use of potato starch significantly improves the quality of cutlets. The dish turns out juicy, soft and aromatic.

Therefore, it is worth considering the introduction of this accessible component.

Starch should be added in sufficient quantities. For half a kilo of meat you will need to take about 3-4 tablespoons of the product.
