Classic Mixes: Made for Creative Cooking
Classic mixes come in 8 oz / 227 g pouches: beef-style, chicken-style and fish-style. The following directions are for one whole Classic pouch, not a 65 g Smart Mix.
1. Hydrate. Empty the pouch into a bowl. Add 650 mL very cold water (about 2¾ US cups) and stir for 1–2 minutes.
2. Rest, then add oil. Let stand for 5 minutes. Add 75 mL vegetable oil (about 5 US tablespoons) and mix thoroughly. Use damp hands to shape.
Pan-fry or grill: cook over medium heat with a little oil for 8–12 minutes, turning occasionally.
Steam: cook for 15–20 minutes until fully cooked.
Cook in sauce: place uncooked, shaped meatballs directly into boiling sauce, then simmer over medium heat for 20 minutes.
Deep-fry: fry at 356°F / 180°C for about 4 minutes, until golden and crisp.
Cooking times vary with portion size and shape. Cook thoroughly before eating. Milliliter quantities above are the precise label measures; US measures are approximate. Always check your own pouch directions. Smart Mix and Classic instructions are not interchangeable.
