Ingredients List
Important Notes
Fresh raw ginger contains an active protease enzyme that digests meat proteins, which can make meat soft and mushy if left raw in large quantities.
To prevent this enzymatic action from over-tenderizing meat, you can deactivate the ginger by heating it to 150°F (approx. 65°C) before adding it to the raw meat.
If cooked shortly after mixing, the enzyme tenderizes the meatballs perfectly, making them exceptionally soft rather than mushy.
