Meatball Preparation

1. Mixing the Meatball Ingredients

In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground pork, minced garlic, minced shallot, fish sauce, sugar, black pepper, chopped cilantro, chopped green onions, egg, and breadcrumbs. Mix everything together until well combined.

2. Forming the Meatballs

Using your hands, form the mixture into small meatballs, about the size of a golf ball. Place them on a tray lined with parchment paper.

3. Cooking the Meatballs

Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and add a little oil. Once hot, add the meatballs and cook for about 5-7 minutes, turning occasionally, until they are golden brown and cooked through.

Dipping Sauce Preparation

4. Combining the Ingredients for Dipping Sauce

In a small bowl, whisk together the fish sauce, water, sugar, lime juice, and chili garlic sauce until the sugar is dissolved and the mixture is well combined.
