6 Servings ~ 20 minutes
  • 500g fat free beef mince

  • 1 egg beaten
  • 2 cloves garlic
  • 1 tbsp soy sauce

Meat balls are tasty, especially those that are made with flavor such as the ones in this recipe. The two important things to keep them together and not break apart when frying are the egg and refrigerating them after you have formed the meat ball. You can have these at lunch, supper or as a snack during the day. You can also deep them in some BBQ sauce or even sweet n sour sauce depending on what you fancy.
