Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Shape ground pork into 12 golf-ball-sized meatballs using your hands. Work quickly; don't overpack.

  2. Step 2

    Heat oil in a skillet over medium-high. When it shimmers, add meatballs and don't stir for 2 minutes.

  3. Step 3

    Roll meatballs around until all sides are golden and cooked through, another 4–5 minutes. Remove to a plate.

  4. Step 4

    In the same skillet, whisk lime juice, fish sauce, and chili paste. Stir 30 seconds until fragrant.

  5. Step 5

    Return meatballs to the pan. Toss gently to coat in the dressing for 1 minute. Remove from heat.

  6. Step 6

    Scatter cilantro and green onion on top. Serve hot with jasmine rice or as a starter with cucumber slices.
