Why Cheese-Fermented Meatballs?
This recipe uses cheese-fermented minced meatballs. This means that the cheese is mixed directly into the meat mixture and is left to ferment for a few hours. Fermentation helps to break down the proteins in the meat, making it easier to digest.
It also adds a unique flavor to the meatballs that you won’t get with any other recipe.
What is Snowy Rice?
Snowy rice is a type of rice that is cooked with an additional amount of water to create a sticky and slightly wet texture.
To achieve this texture, simply add a little extra water than you normally would when cooking rice, and let it soak for a few minutes before fluffing it up with a fork. The result is rice that resembles freshly fallen snow.
Conclusion
Cheese-fermented minced meatballs in tomato sauce on snowy rice is a delicious and unique dish that is sure to impress your guests. It’s easy to make and full of flavor. Try this recipe at your next dinner party or for a cozy night in.
