How To Make Thai Street Vendor Style Meatballs

• 500g minced pork
• 1/2 tbsp baking powder
• 1 1/2 tbsp potato flour
  
• 1 tbsp meat seasoning powder
  
• 1/4 teaspoon pepper
• 1/2 tbsp sugar
• 1/4 teaspoon salt

Special Cooking Equipment Used

• hand blender
  
• mixing bowl
  
• saucepan
  
• skewers
  

Cooking instructions

Step 1: Put your minced pork in the freezer about 2 hours before beginning cooking so that it is semi frozen when you begin

Step 2: Place the minced pork into a mixing bowl and add all of the other ingredients, and mix everything in by hand.

Step 3: Use a hand mixer until the pork has taken on a slightly paste like texture (this is important for getting the texture of the finished meatballs correct)

Step 4: Heat a large saucepan or wok of water until it begins to steam.

Step 5: Ball up the pork into meatballs (see the video for our technique on how to do this easily) and place the meatballs into the steaming water

Step 6: Allow the meatballs to cook for about 10 minutes until they are a light greyish colour all over

Step 7: Place the meatballs into a bowl of cool water after cooking, and leave them to cool and firm for about 5 minutes

Step 8: Place the meatballs on a skewer and grill on a high heat for 5-10 minutes until golden brown. If you want to use them in a soup or with noodles, you can boil them instead.

Step 9: Serve and enjoy! Goes great with our sweet chilli sauce recipe
