Ingredients
- 500 grams ground pork
- 50 grams almond flour
- 50 grams parmesan cheese, grated
- 1 large egg
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 15 ml soy sauce
- 2 medium scallions, finely chopped
- 1 teaspoon sea salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper, freshly ground
- 1 teaspoon ginger, grated
- 1 teaspoon sesame oil
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
Directions
Step 1
Preheat the oven to 200°C (400°F).
Step 2
In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground pork, almond flour, parmesan cheese, and the egg.
Step 3
Add minced garlic, soy sauce, chopped scallions, sea salt, black pepper, grated ginger, and sesame oil to the pork mixture.
Step 4
Mix all the ingredients thoroughly until well combined.
Step 5
Using your hands, shape the mixture into balls approximately the size of a golf ball. You should aim to make about 16-18 pork balls.
Step 6
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
Step 7
Once the oil is hot, add the pork balls in batches to avoid overcrowding the pan. Brown the meatballs on all sides for about 5 minutes.
Step 8
Transfer the browned pork balls to a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
Step 9
Bake in the preheated oven for 10 to 12 minutes, or until the pork balls are cooked through and have reached an internal temperature of 70°C (160°F).
Step 10
Remove from the oven and allow to cool slightly before serving.
Step 11
Serve warm as an appetizer with your choice of dipping sauce or as a main dish with a side of low-carb vegetables.
