Consider sticky pork balls firmly on the weeknight dinner rotation – this recipe shows just how easy and quick they can be to whip up, using soy sauce, brown sugar and cornflour. A sensationally sticky and fantastically flavoursome dish by the brains behind Mak Tok sauces and pastes, it's great served simply with cucumber and rice.

Ingredients

  • 250g minced pork
  • ½ carrot, finely diced
  • ½ onion, finely diced
  • 1 tbsp sesame oil
  • ½ tsp white pepper
  • ½ tsp salt
  • ¼ tsp chinese five spice
  • ½ tsp cornflour
  • 4 tbsp soy sauce
  • 2 tbsp dark brown sugar
  • ½ tbsp oil, for frying
  • 150g rice
  • 1 tbsp apple cider vinegar
  • ½ cucumber, julienned
  • ¼ tsp sesame seeds

Method

Step 1

Add the minced pork, carrot, onion, sesame oil, white pepper, salt and chinese five spice to a mixing bowl. Mix well and allow to marinate for 10 mins.

Step 2

Meanwhile, mix the cornflour with 60ml boiling water until smooth. Add the soy sauce and sugar and combine. Set aside.

Step 3

Bring a pot of water to boil. Shape the minced pork into round balls and gently drop them into the boiling water. Cook for 3 mins before taking them out and set aside.

Step 4

Boil the rice to the packet instructions and drain. Pour into a bowl and add the apple cider vinegar. Mix well.

Step 5

Oil a frying pan and pan fry the pork balls for 4 mins. Add the soy sauce mixture into the pan. Keep stirring until the sauce thickens and coats the pork balls well. Turn off the heat and set aside.

Step 6

Dish up the rice and add the sticky pork balls and cucumber at the side. Garnish with the sesame seeds before serving.
