Hokkien Style Fried Minced Pork Meat Balls

Hokkien Style Fried Minced Pork Meat Balls

Firstly, I am taking this opportunity to wish all my family, relatives, friends, colleagues and

everybody a very happy Chinese New Year! Wishing you good health, great joy and

happiness, abundance of wealth and longevity.

For this year's reunion dinner, all my sisters in law including myself planned to cook 

two dishes from each family. Yeap! There were a lot of home cooked dishes on the table.

My mother in law has seven sons and two daughters. Gosh... imagine those food on the table.

I cooked this dish (Hokkien Style Minced Pork Meat Balls) and

Stir Fried Chicken with Char Choy (click here for the recipe).   

This recipe is from my mother and I am very happy with the result.  My husband also

said delicious when I did the trial run.  Hope you will enjoy this dish with your

family and friends.  Happy cooking!

316g Minced Pork (RM5.00)

58g Minced Fish Paste

58g Water Chestnuts (I used Chinese Turnip / Jicama)  chopped finely

50g Carrot (chopped finely)

1tsp Sesame Oil

1tsp Chinese Five Spice Powder

1tsp Salt

1tsp Pepper

1tsp Light Soy Sauce

1 tbsp Tapioca Flour

*the above seasonings are to taste

 1) Combine well the ingredients and seasoning in a bowl until all stick together.

2) Once well combined, slap the meat against the bowl several times until sticky.

3) To make balls, take handful of the meat in the palm and squeeze it out 

between your thumb and index finger into a meat round ball.

*Well, after squeezing a few balls, I opted using an ice-cream scoop (medium size)

which faster and less hassle.

4) With high fire, heat up the cooking oil and fried all those balls into batches with medium fire.

5) Absorb those oil with cooking paper towel.

6) Serve while it is warm.

It is more delicious and refreshing to eat when you wrap the ball with romaine vegetable.

This ideal was from my dear husband.

I am submitting this dish to

"Cook & Celebrate : Chinese New Year 2016" event

which hosted by Yen of Goody Foodies, Zoe of Bake for Happy Kids and

Diana of The Domestic Goddess Wannabe.
