Instructions
-
Mix cricket powder, eggs, and water until you get a thick, sticky paste—like a batter, but with superpowers. Pop it in the fridge for a few hours to banish any dusty vibes.
-
Take your paste and invite the rest of the meatball squad to the party: onions, breadcrumbs, herbs, and tomato sauce. Mix it all up until it’s a doughy dream.
-
Roll up your sleeves and shape the mixture into cute little balls (teaspoon-sized). Heat up some oil in a pan and fry those babies until they’re golden brown and crispy, about 10–15 minutes. Set them aside like the stars they are.
-
In the same pan, throw in the quartered onions and give them a little sauté love. Add the rest of the sauce ingredients, and let the magic happen—stir until it thickens into a glossy, sweet-and-savory masterpiece.
-
Gently invite the meatballs back into the pan, letting them soak up all that saucy goodness. Stir until they’re beautifully coated.
-
Plate it up over rice, sprinkle with sesame seeds and green onions, and serve with a side of dark leafy greens. Enjoy your cricket-powered feast!
