If you want to get an excellent dish for lunch, then during the cooking process you should remember about additional ingredients that have a positive effect on the texture and taste of the cutlets.

Many people are used to adding onions for juiciness, but other vegetables will also work.

For example, you can pay attention to raw grated potatoes, tomatoes, cabbage or pumpkin.

In addition, as chefs note, the cutlets will be juicier if you add a little crushed ice or just cold water to the minced meat.

When frying, excess water will evaporate, but the meat juice will be preserved.

It is important not to overdo it with the amount of additional ingredients, otherwise the cutlets will fall apart in the frying pan.

It is also worth adding that many people are used to adding eggs to minced meat, believing that such a product helps to glue all the components together. This is not true.

It is important to remember that the egg white will quickly curdle when fried, which means that the dish will be tough and not very appetizing.

If you want to add an egg to the preparation, you should limit yourself to one yolk.

Earlier we told you what to add to a small amount of minced meat to get a whole mountain of cutlets.
