Question and answer:
Why does rice need to be cooked until half cooked?
Semi-cooked rice will absorb meat juice during stewing and will not boil into porridge. This will help the meatballs retain their shape and texture.
Can I use frozen minced meat?
Yes, but it needs to be completely defrosted before cooking. Otherwise, the balls may fall apart during formation.
