This is a recipe I was playing around with one Saturday afternoon, I had a craving for something snacky, but also something ‘Asian’ in influence. I raided the fridge and pantry, but didn’t have much in the way of ingredients to choose from….so I came up with these, Thai Pork and Coriander Balls.
Ingredient wise it’s a bit of a throw it together;
- 500gm Pork Mince
- Handful of Fresh Coriander Leaves
- 2 small Red Chillis
- 1 Egg (medium to large)
- 1 medium White Onion
- 2 Tablespoons of Fish Sauce
- Peanut Oil (for shallow frying)
Give it all a good slice, dice, and mix…and don’t be afraid to get your hands dirty!
To make the balls I find the easiest thing to do to keep them all roughly the same size, also so they cook in the same amount of time, is to use a tablespoon measure. Simple, but it totally works.
Time fries when you’re having fun!
Once you’ve finished cooking all the balls, and they’ve had some time to drain on some kitchen towel, serve them up on your platter of choice with some dipping sauce. Dipping sauce wise I normally do 2 parts Sweet Chilli Sauce, 1 part Light Soy Sauce, and 1 part Fish Sauce..
Enjoy!
