Pork Boulettes Deep Fried Pork Balls With Spicy Dip Recipes

CHINESE FRIED PORK BALLS

Steps:

• Put the self raising flour into bowl. Add a tsp of baking powder. Add seasoning. Gradually add water until you have a smooth double cream consistency - not too runny.
• Cut up pork into cubes around 1 inch or slightly smaller. Dip in flour and then dip in the batter.
• Heat up some oil in a pan, wok or deep fat fryer. It requires a good amount if you are using a pan - you want the balls to be submerged in the oil. Remember to turn the heat down once it gets to the right temperature. And remember to never leave unattended.
• Add the coated pork to the hot oil, a few at a time. You want them to go a nice golden brown colour - will take about 4-6 minutes.
• Take out and blot on kitchen roll. You can serve these immediately or cool them down and freeze.

PORK BOULETTES

Steps:

• In a large skillet, combine the pork and 3 teaspoons of the Essence, and cook, stirring, until brown over medium high heat, about 5 minutes. Remove from the heat and drain on paper towels. In a medium pot, melt the butter over medium heat. Add 3 tablespoons of the flour and, stirring constantly for 5 minutes, make a dark brown roux. To the pork, add the onions and bell peppers, and cook, stirring, until soft, 3 minutes. Add the garlic, and cook, stirring, for 30 seconds. Add the pork mixture to the roux and cook for 1 minute. Add the water, salt, and cayenne, and bring to a boil. Simmer until thick, about 20 minutes, stirring occasionally. Add the rice, green onions, and 1/2 cup of the bread crumbs and cook, stirring, for 2 minutes. Remove from the heat and spread on a baking sheet or platter until cool enough to handle. In a shallow bowl, season the remaining 3/4 cup of flour with 2 teaspoons of the Essence. In another shallow bowl, season the remaining 1 cup of bread crumbs with the remaining tablespoon of Essence. In a third shallow bowl, whisk the egg and milk together. Preheat the oil to 360 degrees F. Shape the pork and rice mixture into balls the size of walnuts. Dredge the pork balls first in the flour, then dip in the egg wash, letting the excess drip off. Dredge the balls in the seasoned bread crumbs, turning to coat evenly. Using a slotted spoon, slide the balls in batches into the oil and fry, turning until golden, about 2 minutes. Remove from the oil and drain on a paper-lined plate. Season lightly with salt, and repeat with the remaining ingredients. Serve hot with the Spicy Dip

Season the flour and remaining bread crumbs with Essence, separately. In a small mixing bowl, whisk the egg and milk together. Season the mixture with Essence. Shape the pork/rice mixture into balls the size of walnuts. Dredge the balls in the flour. Dip each ball in the egg wash, letting any excess drip off. Dredge the balls in the bread crumbs. Fry the roulettes a couple at a time until golden brown, about 2 to 3 minutes. Remove the boulettes from the fryer and drain on a paper-lined plate. Season with Essence.

BOUDIN BALLS & SPICY CREOLE DIP MY WAY

Steps:

• 1. In a bowl, add the mayo and mustard; whisk till mixed well. Add the garlic and cayenne, whisking very well. Cover with a lid and store in the fridge so the flavors will marry together.
• 2. In a large bowl, cut the casings off of the boudin and take out the sausage within. Throw away the casings. Add the eggs, flour, garlic, and parsley mixing well; set aside. If this mixture still looks real moist, you can add more flour, a little at a time, until it takes on a thick consistency. Wash hands thoroughly.
• 3. In a pie dish, mix the ingredients for the seasoned flour whisking well; set aside.
• 4. In a small bowl, whisk together the ingredients for the egg wash making sure they are blended well; set aside.
• 5. In a pie plate, whisk together all the ingredients for the bread crumb coating; set aside.
• 6. With damp hands, shape the boudin into balls the size of unshelled walnuts, about 2 tablespoons each. Make sure they are tightly packed. You might have to squeeze some moisture out of them and that is fine. Dredge the balls in the flour, and then dip them in the egg wash, letting the excess drip off. Finally, dredge the balls in the bread crumbs, turning to coat them evenly. You will need to rinse off your hands after every 2 or so boudin balls but it is so worth the time.
• 7. Transfer the boudin balls to a greased baking sheet and refrigerate for at least 1 hour or up to overnight.
• 8. Pre-heat corn oil in a deep fryer to 350°F. Line a baking sheet with paper towels. Using a slotted spoon and working in batches, slide the balls gently into the oil and fry until a dark golden brown. Remove from the oil and drain on the prepared baking sheet. Let them cool before serving.
• 9. Serve the boudin balls hot or warm, with the Creole dipping sauce alongside. Hope you enjoy these treasures as much as we do. ;)
