Pork And Shrimp Asian Meatballs Recipes

SPICY SHRIMP AND PORK MEATBALLS WITH RUJAK SAUCE

Steps:

• Rujak is a spicy mixed fruit salad found throughout Indonesia. Here I puree it to make a sweet and spicy sauce for meatballs.
• For the meatballs: Add the shrimp, onions, ginger, garlic, peppers and pork to a large mixing bowl. Stir in the egg, tamari, cilantro, lime zest and juice and mix together until well combined. Form the mixture into balls using a disher (scoop). Heat the oil to a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Fry the balls until a good crust forms, before turning, about 2 minutes.
• For the sauce: Add all of the fruit to a food processor and quickly pulse. Add the sugar, tamarind and red pepper flakes and puree until the mixture becomes a thick sauce.
• Put a little of the sauce into a serving bowl and top with the meatballs. Serve with bowls of sauce on the side, and a container of toothpicks.

ASIAN PORK AND SHRIMP PARTY MEATBALLS

Steps:

• Thaw the shrimp, peel and discard the shells or save them to make fish stock at another time. Chop the shrimp in a food processor. Add the chopped shrimp to a medium bowl and add the ground pork, fish sauce, tamari, sweetener and sesame oil. Mix thoroughly with a hand mixer. Mince the remaining ingredients and add to the bowl with the pork and shrimp mixture. Combine thoroughly with the hand mixer.
• To Form The Asian Pork And Shrimp Meatballs: Pour the chicken broth into a medium pot and over medium heat, bring to a simmer. Line a small sheet pan with plastic wrap, parchment or foil. With lightly oiled or moistened hands, remove portions about the size of walnuts from the pork and shrimp mixture and roll into balls and place on the sheet pan. There should be about 60 meatballs.
• To Cook The Asian Pork And Shrimp Meatballs: Place the meat balls into the simmering water and simmer until cooked through. They will float to the top of the broth when they are getting close, but will still need to go at least five minutes or more. Cut one in half to test, to be sure.
• Remove the covering from the sheet pan. When the pork and shrimp meatballs are cooked through, remove from the broth and place back on the sheet pan.
• In a large frying pan, add the ingredients for the sauce and cook over medium heat until it reduces by half. Add the pork and shrimp meatballs and swirl them around in the frying pan to coat with the sauce by gently shaking the pan by the handle.

SHRIMP AND PORK BALLS WITH SPICY LIME DIPPING SAUCE

Steps:

• In the bowl of a food processor combine the scallions, half of the ginger - grated or minced, half of the chopped chile pepper, garlic, 3 tablespoons tamari, cilantro and the lime zest. Pulse for 30 seconds, scrape down the bowl and then continue to process 1 minute or until finely ground. Add the shrimp and pork, process until the shrimp are ground into small pieces and the mixture is well combined but not so fine that it becomes a paste, about 1 minute. Roll the shrimp and pork mixture into to 24 balls, about the size of a large walnut. If you dip your hands in water before rolling the mixture the rolling goes a little easier.
• Preheat a large nonstick skillet with 4 tablespoons of vegetable oil over medium heat. Add the balls and don't move them until they are brown on 1 side, about 2 minutes. Turn the balls and continue to cook, browning on all sides until cooked through, about 4 minutes.
• While the balls are cooking make the spicy lime dipping sauce: in a bowl combine the remaining ginger, chili pepper, 1/2 cup tamari, lime juice, toasted sesame oil, honey and 3 tablespoons (a splash) of water. Taste and adjust the seasoning, if you find it to be too salty, add another drizzle of honey.
• Platter the shrimp and pork balls with a bowl of the spicy lime dipping sauce and toothpicks.
