How to cook

Prepare the bread crumbs

Pour the milk over the breadcrumbs to soak while you gather the rest of the ingredients.

Prepare the honey garlic sauce

Mix the honey, garlic, tomato sauce, chilli paste, miso paste, eggs, water, sugar and cooking oil in a separate bowl then set aside.

Prepare the meatballs

In a large bowl, mix the soaked bread crumbs, minced pork, egg, thyme, cumin, green onion, ginger, garlic, salt and black pepper together.
Form the meatball mixture into 2 inch balls (keeping your hands wet with cold water prevents the mixture from sticking to your hands).

Start cooking

Brown the meatballs on all sides in a non-stick frying pan for about 10 minutes.
Add in minced garlic to release the flavour and aroma.
Pour the honey garlic sauce into the pan of meatballs and simmer till the meatballs are fully cooked.
Add in the corn starch slurry to thicken up the sauce before serving it over rice or noodles.
