Minced Pork Patties

Minced Pork Patties (Feb2012)

A cheat way to persuade your kids to eat their veges is to hide them in these yummy bites! Getting my kids to take their greens is an ongoing war in my house. It's a battle of the wits and guess who's winning? I may lose a battle or two but I shall win the vege war soon enough! Hahaha....

They'll never know until they read this blog one day that scheming Mummy has managed to put 4 different kinds of vegetables in their "gold nuggets" (That's what Justin calls them!). Do you consider potato a vegetable? Well, it's a start... what next?
 

Minced Pork Patties Recipe

Ingredients:
300 g minced pork
1/4 cup of carrot,shredded
1/4 cup of cabbage, shredded
1/4 cup of  long bean, chopped finely
1/4 cup of potato, shredded then chopped finely
2 cups of bread crumbs (Toast 3 slices of wholemeal bread, then crush finely)
1 tsp of meat curry powder
1 egg, beaten

Seasoning:
1/2 tsp salt
1 tsp of oyster sauce
A dash of ground black pepper
1 tbsp corn flour
1/2 tsp cooking oil

Method:

1. Combine pork, carrot, cabbage and long beans into a bowl. Add seasoning and mix well. Leave aside for 1/2 hour
2. While waiting, toast the bread and crush to make bread crumbs. I place them in a zip lock and pound them with my pestle. Add potato and curry powder into the bag and mix well.
3. Heat up enough oil for deep frying. Take a tablespoonful of minced meat mixture and make it into a patty. Dip patty into the beaten egg, then roll it around in your bag of breadcrumb mixture.
4. Drop patty into the oil and fry until golden brown. 
5. You could make all the patties first before frying. Fry in batches as the bread crumb burns easily!
