INGREDIENTS
- 1 pound ground pork
- 1 1/2 tablespoons mijiu or shaoxing wine
- 1 teaspoon ginger paste
- 3 cloves garlic, finely minced
- 1 tablespoon fish sauce
- 1 1/2 teaspoon chili sauce
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- 1 teaspoon Chinese five spice powder
- 1 stalk of scallion, diced
FOR THE DIPPING SAUCE:
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 teaspoon chili sauce
- Splash fish sauce
INSTRUCTIONS
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit and line a large baking sheet with wax paper.
- In a large bowl, add all the ingredients of the meatballs then using your hands, gently combine everything together, being careful to not overmix.
- Using a medium cookie scoop (or two tablespoons), form into balls and place onto wax paper.
- In a large cast iron skillet, heat up 1 tablespoon of avocado oil over medium-high heat. Add the meatballs to the skillet and brown two sides, making sure you don't cook the meatball entirely.
- Once browned, place in oven to finish cooking through, about 10-13 minutes.
- Once done, remove from oven and let cool for 10-15 minutes before serving.
