Preparation

Step 1

1. Place minced pork on a big tray. Add in shallots, garlic, eggs and tapioca flour. Combine ingredients manually.
2. Sprinkle in seasoning, combine thoroughly. Stain palms of your hands with a little oil. Scoop up a little meat and slap against the other palm. Repeat the action a couple of times before rounding mixture. Place on a tray and repeat process with the remaining meat.
3. Heat three rice bowls of oil. Deep-fry meatballs in batches till golden. Drain and serve.

Tips: Mincing pork with a hand-held cleaver gives it a nicer bounce than processing pork in an electric meat chopper. The slapping process helps to bind meatballs and gives it a better texture.
