Step 2

To make the pork balls, combine the ingredients in a large bowl. Mix vigorously. Shape into walnut-sized meatballs.

Step 3

Heat oil in large non-stick frying pan over medium heat. Cook meatballs (in batches if necessary), turning, for 5 minutes or until evenly browned and cooked through.

Step 4
