Vejledning

To Prepare:

Preheat the oven to 400°F (204°C).

Chop shiitake

Roughly chop the shiitake mushrooms and pulse them in a small food processor until finely chopped. Transfer to a large mixing bowl.

Chop shallots

Do the same with the shallots—peel, roughly chop, and pulse until finely chopped. Add to the bowl.

Mince shrimp

Add the shrimp to the food processor and pulse a few times until it turns into a sticky paste. Transfer to the same bowl.

Dice scallions

Dice the scallions into small rounds and add them to the bowl.

Combine the filling

Add the remaining ingredients — ground meat, egg white, salt, soy sauce, sugar, sesame oil, white pepper, and starch. Stir the mixture in one direction for about 2 minutes, until it becomes sticky and cohesive. It may look loose at first but will thicken as you mix.

Shape into meatballs

Line a large sheet pan with parchment paper. Lightly oil your palms to prevent sticking, then form about 18 meatballs (about 1.5 oz / 42.5 g each). Arrange them on the baking sheet and lightly spray the tops with oil.

To Bake:

Baking time and temp.

Bake at 400°F (204°C) for 20 minutes total, flipping the meatballs after 15 minutes.
