Ingredients
- 500 g Ground pork
- 60 g Breadcrumbs
- 1 Egg
- 3 cloves Garlic (minced)
- 1 tbsp Ginger (grated)
- 2 tbsp Soy sauce
- 1 tbsp Sesame oil
- 2 stalks Green onions (finely chopped)
- 1 tsp Sugar
- 0.5 tsp Black pepper
- 2 tbsp Cooking oil (for frying)
- 0 Sweet chili sauce (optional, for dipping)
Directions
Step 1
In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground pork, breadcrumbs, egg, minced garlic, grated ginger, soy sauce, sesame oil, green onions, sugar, and black pepper.
Step 2
Using your hands or a spoon, mix the ingredients thoroughly until well combined.
Step 3
Scoop about 1 tablespoon of the meat mixture and roll it into a small ball using your hands. Repeat until all the mixture is used, making approximately 25-30 mini meatballs.
Step 4
Heat the cooking oil in a large skillet or frying pan over medium heat.
Step 5
Once the oil is hot, carefully add the meatballs in batches, ensuring they are not crowded in the pan.
Step 6
Cook the meatballs for about 4-5 minutes on each side or until they are golden brown and cooked through. The internal temperature should reach 165°F (74°C).
Step 7
Remove the cooked meatballs from the pan and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to remove excess oil.
Step 8
Repeat the process with the remaining meatballs.
Step 9
Serve the mini meatballs warm as-is or with a side of sweet chili sauce for dipping. They pair well with steamed rice, noodles, or vegetable stir-fry.
