Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams Ground pork
- 2 cloves Garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon Ginger, grated
- 2 stalks Green onions, finely chopped
- 2 tablespoons Soy sauce
- 1 teaspoon Sesame oil
- 50 grams Breadcrumbs
- 1 large Egg
- 1 teaspoon Red chili flakes
- 2 tablespoons Hoisin sauce
- 1 tablespoon Sriracha
- 2 tablespoons Vegetable oil
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, combine ground pork, minced garlic, grated ginger, chopped green onions, soy sauce, sesame oil, breadcrumbs, egg, and red chili flakes. Mix thoroughly until evenly combined.
Using your hands, form the mixture into small meatballs, about 1 inch in diameter, and place them on the prepared baking sheet.
In a small bowl, mix hoisin sauce and sriracha to create the spicy glaze. Set aside.
Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the meatballs in batches and sear them for about 1-2 minutes on each side, until golden brown.
Transfer the seared meatballs back onto the baking sheet and brush them generously with the hoisin-sriracha glaze.
Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes or until the meatballs are fully cooked (internal temperature should reach 74°C or 165°F).
Remove from the oven and let the meatballs rest for 2 minutes. Serve hot as an appetizer or over steamed rice, garnished with additional green onions or sesame seeds if desired.
