Ingredients
- 500 grams Ground pork
- 2 cloves Garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon Ginger, grated
- 2 stalks Green onions, finely chopped
- 2 tablespoons Soy sauce
- 1 teaspoon Sesame oil
- 50 grams Breadcrumbs
- 1 large Egg
- 1 teaspoon Red chili flakes
- 2 tablespoons Hoisin sauce
- 1 tablespoon Sriracha
- 2 tablespoons Vegetable oil
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Step 2
In a large mixing bowl, combine ground pork, minced garlic, grated ginger, chopped green onions, soy sauce, sesame oil, breadcrumbs, egg, and red chili flakes. Mix thoroughly until evenly combined.
Step 3
Using your hands, form the mixture into small meatballs, about 1 inch in diameter, and place them on the prepared baking sheet.
Step 4
In a small bowl, mix hoisin sauce and sriracha to create the spicy glaze. Set aside.
Step 5
Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the meatballs in batches and sear them for about 1-2 minutes on each side, until golden brown.
Step 6
Transfer the seared meatballs back onto the baking sheet and brush them generously with the hoisin-sriracha glaze.
Step 7
Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes or until the meatballs are fully cooked (internal temperature should reach 74°C or 165°F).
Step 8
Remove from the oven and let the meatballs rest for 2 minutes. Serve hot as an appetizer or over steamed rice, garnished with additional green onions or sesame seeds if desired.
