Ingredients

Scale

Ingredients

  • 300 g Mozzarella Cheese, shredded
  • 3 tablespoons Cornstarch
  • 1 Egg
  • ¼ teaspoon Salt
  • Oil, for deep frying (quantity as needed)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Cheese Mixture: In a mixing bowl, combine the shredded mozzarella cheese, cornstarch, egg, and salt. Mix thoroughly using a spoon and your hands until all ingredients are well combined and form a sticky mixture.
  2. Shape the Cheese Balls: Take small portions of the cheese mixture and roll them between your palms to form compact, bite-sized balls that hold their shape firmly.
  3. Heat the Oil: Pour enough oil into a deep frying pan to allow for deep frying. Heat the oil until it is hot but not smoking, ideally around 350°F (175°C).
  4. Fry the Cheese Balls: Carefully drop a few cheese balls into the hot oil, ensuring not to overcrowd the pan to prevent sticking and uneven cooking. Fry them for about 2-3 minutes or until they are golden brown and crispy on the outside.
  5. Drain Excess Oil: Remove the fried cheese balls using a slotted spoon and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to absorb any excess oil.
  6. Serve Warm: Serve the fried cheese balls immediately while warm and crispy, optionally accompanied by your favorite dipping sauce for extra flavor.

Notes

  • Ensure the oil is at the right temperature before frying to get a crispy exterior without absorbing too much oil.
  • Do not overcrowd the pan to allow even cooking and maintain oil temperature.
  • You can add herbs or spices to the cheese mixture for added flavor, such as garlic powder or Italian seasoning.
  • Serve immediately for the best texture and taste.
