Ingredients
500
g (1lb)
ground pork / pork mince
½
cup
fresh breadcrumbs
1
egg yolk
½
tsp
sesame oil
2
tsp
soy sauce
1
tsp
garlic
minced
1
tsp
ginger
minced
1
tsp

½

For the sweet and sour sauce
1
tbsp

3
tbsp

2

4

brown sugar
4
tbsp
apple cider vinegar
2-3
tbsp

Instructions
Combine the pork, breadcrumbs, seasonings and egg yolk in a large bowl.
Mix until combined. With damp hands, form the mixture into meatballs (I make mine just smaller than golf balls).
In a large skillet or frying pan, cook the meatballs in a splash of oil until golden brown on all sides. Remove from the heat and set aside.
Whisk the cornstarch, ketchup, soy sauce, brown sugar, vinegar and water together.
Pour into the same pan you used for the meatballs. Allow to simmer gently until thickened and smooth.
Add the meatballs to the sauce and cook for 2-3 minutes, until the meatballs are golden and sticky.
Serve the meatballs and sauce over rice or noodles and garnish with spring onion.
