Ingredients
- 500 grams lean ground pork
- 1 large egg white
- 60 grams breadcrumbs
- 2 tablespoons low sodium soy sauce
- 2 small green onion, finely chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced

- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoon salt

Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Step 2
In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground pork, egg white, breadcrumbs, soy sauce, green onions, garlic, ginger, black pepper, salt, and sesame oil. Mix until all the ingredients are thoroughly combined.
Step 3
Using your hands, shape the mixture into small balls, about 1 inch in diameter, and place them on the prepared baking sheet, leaving some space between each ball.
Step 4
Lightly coat the pork balls with non-stick cooking spray to help them brown in the oven.
Step 5
Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until the pork balls are cooked through and have reached an internal temperature of 160°F (72°C).
Step 6
Remove from the oven and let them rest for a few minutes before serving.
Step 7
Serve the pork balls warm as an appetizer with your choice of dipping sauce or as part of a main dish with rice or noodles.
