I made this meat ball dish for my company’s annual Thanksgiving potluck party, and everyone loved it so much. So I want to share the recipe with you. Hope you will like it too. The picture shown below is store bought meat balls. Sorry I didn’t take a good picture of the home made meat balls with the sauce. I will update it once I make the meat balls again.

Meat balls:

Ground Pork 2 pounds

Dried Mushroom 1/3 cup (after soaked)

Dried Seaweed 1/3 cup (Cut into small pieces)

Egg 1.5

Starch flour 2TBSP

Minced Ginger 1TBSP

Light soy sauce 2TBSP

Oyster sauce 2TBSP

Sugar 1TBSP

Cooking Wine 1.5 TBSP

Sesame oil 2TSP

Sauce:

Hoisin sauce 2/3 cup

White rice vinegar 3/4 cup

Soy sauce 1/3 cup

Sesame oil 2-3TSPS

Minced Ginger 1-2TBSPS

Sugar 1/3 cup

Water 2/3 cup

Soak the dried mushroom the day before and then mince it finely.

mix all the ingredients for meat balls together and stir it in one direction for at least 3-5 minutes, so the texture of the meat balls will be elastic, not mushy.

Get small amount of meat and roll them to make the same size balls.

Heat up some oil, you can pan fry or deep fry the meat balls. So the amount of oil will vary. Pan fry use less oil with smaller heat, it is healthier but requires more patient and time.

if you want to eat the meat balls without sauce, it is fine too. You can use this meat balls for anything else ( spaghetti for example). If you want to cook it with something else, then you don’t need to cook the meat balls throughly , just fry them until the out side is lightly brown.

Mix all the ingredients for sauce together, it is recommended to do a night before so all the flavors will come together. You can also use this sauce for ribs or any other kind of meat dishes too.

Add the sauce to the meat balls and bring it to boil and continue to cook for another 2-3 minutes( depend on the size of your meat balls to adjust the cooking time).
