Pork meatballs in a saucepan with rice and gravy

Minced meat with rice is well suited for cooking meatballs, cabbage rolls and stuffing vegetables. Meatballs from it turn out incomparable. Rice for meatballs is better either round-grained or cut, you need it to be sticky. We take pork meat, moderately fatty, cutlet, spatula or brisket.
Wash the rice, pour two parts of water on one part of the rice and boil until the water evaporates, stirring. We put the hot boiled rice in a minced meat container and cool it.
Carrots and onions are cleaned and washed, onions are cut into cubes, carrots are grated, you can fine, you can large, and then passeruem with the addition of 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil in a frying pan over low heat for 10 minutes.
Cut pork into pieces and twist it in a meat grinder twice.
Boiled rice is first mixed with sauteed onions and carrots, check that the mass is not hot, if slightly warm, then you can add ground meat. Also add spices and 2.5 teaspoons of salt to the minced meat, beat in the egg.
Now carefully knead the minced meat with your hands. It turns out to be plastic and moderately dense.
We pour flour into a plate to bread the meatballs in it. We also put a frying pan with vegetable oil to warm up. Pour the oil into a frying pan about half a centimeter high.
Quickly form round meatballs, roll them well in flour and put them in a frying pan.
Fry meatballs over high heat, turning them on 3-4 sides so that their surface is only slightly browned.
Fried meatballs from the frying pan are immediately transferred to a saucepan.
Now that all the meatballs are fried, we dilute sour cream and tomato paste in a liter of water, add 1 teaspoon of salt to the sauce and pour the meatballs in a saucepan.
Put the pot with meatballs in gravy on high heat, bring to a boil, set the fire to a minimum, cover the pan with a lid and cook the meatballs for 40 minutes.
