Equipment
Ingredients
- 400 g pork mince
- 15 g tbsp roasted rice flour
- 15 g garlic cloves chopped finely
- 40 g red shallots chopped finely
- 1 tsp fish sauce
- ½ tsp sugar
- ¼ tsp salt
- ½ tsp black pepper freshly ground
- 15 g roasted peanuts ground

Instructions
- Mix all the ingredients up the ’To Serve’ section in a large bowl.
- Cover and place the bowl in the refrigerator for at least half an hour.
- Soak your bamboo skewers in water for at least 20 mins.
- With a spoon, take some of the mixture and weigh it on a scale. We want to make balls of 18 g each, which is a ball with a 3 cm diameter.
- Place each ball on an oven tray lined with ovenproof paper.
- Once you have finished rolling the balls, place the tray in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes or until ready to use.
- Light a charcoal grill and wait until the charcoal pieces have turned white hot.
- Remove the tray from the refrigerator and carefully thread the balls on to the skewers.
- Baste with a little vegetable oil and cook the meatballs, rotating the balls until they are just cooked through.
- On a serving tray, arrange all the serving items and then place the skewers on top.
