1/2 cup soda water, plain
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
Directions:
- Mix all ingredients except soda water and baking soda until well blended.
- Blend in baking soda.
- Slowly add soda water a little at a time until well combined. Mixture should be moist but not so much that it cannot hold a shape.
- Form meat into cylindrical shapes about 2-3 inches long and 1 to 1 1/2 inches in diameter.
- Grill (or fry but they won't be as tasty) turning every few minutes until cooked through, about 10 minutes depending on your grill).
- Serve with a light mustard.
