Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams Ground pork
- 3 cloves Garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon Ginger, grated
- 2 stalks Green onions, finely chopped
- 2 tablespoons Soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon Oyster sauce
- 1 teaspoon Sesame oil
- 1 teaspoon Sugar
- 2 tablespoons Cornstarch
- 100 grams White sesame seeds
- 500 milliliters Cooking oil (for frying)
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine ground pork, minced garlic, grated ginger, finely chopped green onions, soy sauce, oyster sauce, sesame oil, sugar, and cornstarch. Mix thoroughly until all ingredients are evenly incorporated.
Shape the pork mixture into small balls, about 1 inch in diameter, and set aside on a tray.
Spread the white sesame seeds on a plate. Roll each pork ball in the sesame seeds, pressing gently to ensure the seeds stick and fully coat the surface.
Heat cooking oil in a deep frying pan or pot over medium-high heat until it reaches 170-180°C (340-360°F).
Carefully lower the sesame-coated pork balls into the hot oil in batches, making sure not to overcrowd the pan.
Fry the pork balls for 5-7 minutes, turning occasionally, until they are golden brown and cooked through.
Use a slotted spoon to remove the pork balls from the oil and transfer them to a plate lined with paper towels to drain any excess oil.
Serve hot with your favorite dipping sauce, such as sweet chili sauce or soy-based dipping sauce. Enjoy!
