Thai Pork Meatballs

Ingredients

200g lean pork mince

3 cloves garlic

2 green chillies, finely chopped

3 tbsp finely chopped spring onion

1 tsp salt

1 tsp pepper

2 tsp sugar

2 egg whites

2 tbsp very cold water

2 tsp fish sauce (nam pla)

Groundnut oil for frying

Plain flour for dusting

Place the pork mince in a processor with the egg whites and water, blend briefly, add the rest of the ingredients except the oil and flour, blend for a few seconds more.

Form into rounds about the size of a golf ball, dust each one with flour and shake off any excess.

Heat the oil over a high setting and when almost to the point of smoking, gently spoon in the meatballs and cook for about 4 minutes each batch until golden and crisp on the outside.

Serve hot with a dipping sauce.
