Meatball Preparation
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.
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.
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.
