Time 41m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 11

12 ounces ground pork
2 eggs
½ cup cornstarch
2 ½ tablespoons cornstarch, divided
2 spring onions, finely chopped
1 (3/4 inch thick) slice fresh ginger, finely chopped
2 teaspoons salt
1 teaspoon soy sauce
6 tablespoons vegetable oil
½ cup chicken broth, or as needed
1 tablespoon water

Steps:

  • Combine pork, eggs, 1/2 cup plus 1 1/2 tablespoon cornstarch, spring onions, ginger, salt, and soy sauce in a large bowl. Mix well and form into 8 balls.
  • Heat oil in a large wok over medium heat. Cook meatballs in the hot oil until golden brown, 3 to 5 minutes. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate using a slotted spoon.
  • Drain all but 2 tablespoons oil from the wok. Return meatballs to the wok; add enough chicken broth to just cover meatballs. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low; simmer until meatballs are no longer pink in the center, about 15 minutes.
  • Mix remaining 1 tablespoon cornstarch with water in a bowl. Stir into the wok until chicken broth thickens, 3 to 5 minutes. Transfer to a serving dish.

These meatballs were a bit too dry for my taste. I think I'll add more liquid to the mixture next time.

These meatballs were a bit too salty for my taste. I think I'll reduce the amount of soy sauce next time.
