Most often the reason is the poor quality of the minced meat.
For example, if the semi-finished product is too liquid, it will not mold properly.
In such cases, additional ingredients are needed that will make the texture thicker.
In this case, you can use flour or semolina.
It is also acceptable to add breadcrumbs to the mince. But don't proceed to sculpting right away.
The mixture needs to be left to sit for about 20 minutes, said Yulia Arkhipova, an expert at the online publication Belnovosti.
Another cooking mistake that causes cutlets to fall apart during frying is that the minced meat may not have been mixed well.
Chefs recommend beating it a little before frying and cooling it in the refrigerator.
If you want the cutlets to remain appetizing, you should roll them in breadcrumbs. You can also grease them with egg white, which will create a light protective film.
Earlier we talked about why you should add soda to minced meat.
