  • 1 Free Range Egg, lightly whisked
  • 35g breadcrumbs

Instructions:
  • Combine the mince, ginger, water chestnut, egg, breadcrumbs, and spring onion in a large bowl, then mix thoroughly with your hands. Season the mixture and roll into 1-tbs sized balls.
  • Start by heating the oil in a large frying pan over medium heat. Then, add the meatballs and cook them, turning occasionally, for 5 minutes.
