These basic meatballs are made simply with ground meat and a few seasonings, paired with a versatile sweet and sour sauce to create a deliciously tangy dish. The meatballs and the sweet and sour sauce can actually be learned separately and used in other dishes as well. I highly recommend everyone to learn this recipe.

Steps

1

First, mix all the meatball ingredients evenly and beat until sticky.
2

Mix the sweet and sour sauce ingredients and set aside.
3

Heat oil in a pan, shape the ground pork into meatballs, and pan-fry until cooked. If you want perfectly round meatballs, you can deep-fry them instead.
4

Add the sweet and sour sauce to the pan and cook until the sauce thickens.
5

Serve on a plate and sprinkle with white sesame seeds as desired.

TIPS:
1. You can adjust the softness of the meatballs by varying the amount of starch.
2. Since I thicken the sauce by reducing it, the vinegar taste is lessened. If you prefer a stronger vinegar flavor, you can add more white vinegar before removing from heat, or leave the sauce less reduced and thicken it with a slurry.
3. I've slightly reduced the amount of sugar, but you can adjust the proportions of sugar, vinegar, and ketchup to your taste.
