Glutinous Pork Fat Balls

Glutinous Pork Fat Balls

　　【Ingredients】

　　Main: Eggs (300g)

　　Red Bean Paste (150g)

　　Seasoning: Starch (pea starch) (25g)

　　Lard (refined) (150g)

　　【Method】

　　1. Remove the membranes from the leaf lard, slice thinly, then cut into rectangular strips. Lay them flat and place a small finger-thick strip of red bean paste in the center, then roll into an oval-shaped glutinous pork fat strip, cut into sections, and shape into small balls.

　　2. Pour egg whites into a shallow bowl, beat vigorously in one direction with chopsticks until frothy, then mix in dry starch to form a foamy batter.

　　3. Heat a pan, add lard and heat until it reaches 30% heat. Add the balls coated in egg foam and fry until they puff up and form a skin. Remove when puffed. When the oil temperature rises to 60% heat, return the balls to the pan and deep-fry until light yellow and the outer crust is crispy. Remove and arrange on a plate, sprinkle with powdered sugar, and serve.
