Add finely diced onion.
Add seasonings and cold water.
Add finely diced onion to the ground meat.
Sprinkle in the garlic powder. Pour in the cold water. Salt to taste and add half a teaspoon of dried oregano.
Sprinkle in the breadcrumbs.
Add the breadcrumbs. You can use leftover stale white bread, store-bought breadcrumbs, or panko breadcrumbs.
Mix thoroughly.
Add finely chopped cilantro.
With wet hands, form two long sausages on a board and thread them onto bamboo skewers.
Mix everything together. If the mixture seems too dry and stiff, you can add a little more cold water.
Add finely chopped cilantro, mix again, and place the bowl in the refrigerator for 15-20 minutes. If you don’t like cilantro, you can replace it with parsley or basil.
Divide the meat mixture in half. With wet hands, form two long sausages on a board and thread them onto bamboo skewers. Don’t forget to check the length of the skewers against your pan and break off any excess.
Carefully lift the sausages from the board and coat them in flour on all sides.
Pour wheat flour onto a large plate or board. Carefully lift the sausages from the board and coat them in flour on all sides.
Dip the flour-coated sausage into the beaten egg.
Generously coat the sausages with breadcrumbs.
Fry until golden brown, about 5 minutes on one side.
In a narrow container or a suitable dish (this recipe uses a herring dish), whisk a chicken egg with a tablespoon of milk or water. Dip the flour-coated sausage into the beaten egg.
Spread panko breadcrumbs on a board. Transfer the sausages from the egg mixture to the board with the breadcrumbs. Generously coat the sausages with breadcrumbs, ensuring there are no bare spots.
Pour refined, odorless vegetable oil into a wide, thick-bottomed frying pan. Heat the oil for 5 minutes. Place the breaded sausages on skewers into the hot oil. Fry until golden brown, about 5 minutes on one side.
At the end of cooking, you can leave the sausages on low heat for about 3-4 minutes to cook through.
Flip the sausages and fry the other side, then turn them on their sides and fry both sides. Towards the end of cooking, you can cover the pan with a piece of foil with a hole for steam to escape, and leave the sausages on low heat for about 3-4 minutes to ensure they are cooked through.
