From Banh mi tacos
Ingredients
- 1 lb ground pork
- 1/4 cup thai basil, julienned
- 4 garlic cloves, minced
- 3 scallions, sliced
- 1 tbsp fish sauce
- 1 tbsp sriracha
- 1 tbsp sugar
- 2 tsp cornstarch
- salt n’ pepper to taste
- sesame oil for frying
Preparation
Preheat oven to 350 C. Throw everything into a bowl at once and then mix and mash until it’s all consistently worked in. To form meatballs, use a spoon or melon baller. Fry meatballs in sesame oil in small batches over medium-high heat until seared on all sides, then finish in oven for about 15 minutes or cooked through.
*Tip for meatball-shaping: run your hands under the tap now and then to keep them moist while you’re working the meat into balls, it keeps the meat from sticking to your fingers!
