Ingredients
- 500 grams Lean ground pork
- 50 grams Oats
- 2 large Egg whites
- 2 tablespoons Reduced-sodium soy sauce
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Onion powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Chopped fresh parsley
- 1 tablespoon Vegetable oil
- 125 milliliters Low-sodium chicken broth
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease a baking dish with the vegetable oil.
Step 2
In a large mixing bowl, combine the lean ground pork, oats, egg whites, reduced-sodium soy sauce, garlic powder, onion powder, ground black pepper, and parsley. Mix until all the ingredients are fully incorporated.
Step 3
Using your hands, shape the mixture into small, even-sized meatballs, approximately 1.5 inches in diameter. Aim for around 16 meatballs.
Step 4
Heat a non-stick frying pan over medium heat. Add a small amount of vegetable oil if needed to prevent sticking.
Step 5
Brown the meatballs in batches for about 4-5 minutes on each side until they are golden brown. Transfer to the prepared baking dish.
Step 6
Once all meatballs are browned and in the baking dish, pour the low-sodium chicken broth over them.
Step 7
Cover the baking dish with foil and bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes.
Step 8
Remove the foil and continue baking for an additional 5-10 minutes until the meatballs are cooked through and the chicken broth has reduced slightly.
Step 9
Serve the meatballs warm, garnished with extra fresh parsley if desired.
