Sweet and sour pork meatballs - a family favorite with a delicious twist!
Ingredients:
  • 2 slices bread, crusts removed
  • 60ml (1/4 cup) milk
  • 500g pork mince
  • 3 green shallots, finely chopped
  • 2cm piece ginger, peeled, finely grated
  • 5.00 gm cornflour
  • 1 egg
  • 63.00 gm soy sauce
  • 36.40 gm peanut oil
  • 1 brown onion, coarsely chopped
  • 1 red capsicum, deseeded, coarsely chopped
  • 1 green capsicum, deseeded, coarsely chopped
  • 227g can pineapple chunks in juice
  • 125ml (1/2 cup) tomato sauce
  • 60ml (1/4 cup) rice wine vinegar
  • 20.00 gm caster sugar
  • Steamed brown rice, to serve
  • Fresh coriander leaves, to serve (optional)
  • Bean sprouts, to serve (optional)
Instructions:
  • Soak the bread in milk in a bowl for 2 minutes, then gently squeeze out excess milk before transferring to a large bowl.
  • Combine pork mince, shallot, ginger, garlic, cornflour, egg, and 1 tablespoon soy sauce with the bread mixture using your hands. Gently mix until well combined, season the mixture, then shape into tablespoon-sized balls and place them on a plate.
  • In a large frying pan over medium heat, heat 1 tablespoon of oil until shimmering. Add the meatballs in batches and sauté for 8 minutes, flipping occasionally, until they are golden brown. Transfer the cooked meatballs to a separate plate.
  • In a pan over medium-high heat, heat the remaining 1 tablespoon oil. Sauté the onion and capsicum for 3-4 minutes until slightly softened. Lower the heat and pour in the pineapple with juice, tomato sauce, vinegar, sugar, and remaining 2 tablespoons soy sauce. Bring to a boil, then add the meatballs. Cook and stir for 4-5 minutes until the meatballs are cooked and sauce thickens.
  • Portion the rice into individual serving bowls. Place meatballs on top of the rice, followed by the sauce. Garnish with fresh coriander and bean sprouts, as desired.
