Ingredients
- 500 g (1lb) ground pork / pork mince
- ½ cup fresh breadcrumbs
- 1 egg yolk
- ½ tsp sesame oil
- 2 tsp soy sauce
- 1 tsp garlic minced
- 1 tsp ginger minced
- 1 tsp salt
- ½ tsp pepper
For the sweet and sour sauce
- 1 tbsp cornstarch
- 3 tbsp ketchup
- 2 tbsp soy sauce
- 4 tbsp brown sugar
- 4 tbsp apple cider vinegar
- 2-3 tbsp water
Instructions
- Combine the pork, breadcrumbs, seasonings and egg yolk in a large bowl.
- Mix until combined. With damp hands, form the mixture into meatballs (I make mine just smaller than golf balls).
- In a large skillet or frying pan, cook the meatballs in a splash of oil until golden brown on all sides. Remove from the heat and set aside.
- Whisk the cornstarch, ketchup, soy sauce, brown sugar, vinegar and water together.
- Pour into the same pan you used for the meatballs. Allow to simmer gently until thickened and smooth.
- Add the meatballs to the sauce and cook for 2-3 minutes, until the meatballs are golden and sticky.
- Serve the meatballs and sauce over rice or noodles and garnish with spring onion.
