Recipe's preparation

    Making the Meatballs
  1. Place Spring Onion into the bowl. Chop 5 sec/Spd 5. Scrape bowl & chop 5 sec/spd 5.

    Set aside.

    Add the following to TM bowl: Lemongrass, Ginger, Garlic, Carrot. Chop 15 sec/Spd 8.

    Add egg.

    Mix 4 sec/Spd 4.

    Add Pork Mince, Fish Sauce, Kecap Manis and reserved spring onions. Mix 15 sec/Spd 3. Scrape bowl. Mix 5 sec/spd 3.

    move to another bowl.

  2. Rolling and cooking meatballs
  3. Whilst you are rolling the meatballs heat 500g Water 7mins/varoma/spd 1.

    Using your hands, roll meatballs into balls, just smaller than the size of a golf ball.

    Place directly onto Varoma trays. Try to leave a small gap around each ball.

    Place Varoma onto TM bowl. Cook 15 mins/Varoma/Spd 4.

  4. Dipping Sauce
  5. 11. Whilst the meatballs are cooking, in a small bowl, place sugar and hot water. Stir to dissolve sugar.

    12. Add Sambal olek, vinegar and fish sauce, (and coriander if using) and mix.

     

    Serve.

Tip

These are so juicy and tasty.  Ths Sambal Olek on the dipping sauce is really only for colour. If you prefer a hot sauce, increase amount of Sambal Olek.

 

You can use chicken mince in lieu of Pork mince.

    Was easy and tasty. I served with rice and drizzled the dipping sauce over. Would add coriander to the meatballs next time. Thank you!

    Delicious! Great for party nibbles, but even better added into an Asian style salad. These always go down well.

    Pretty good, but a bit bland for Vietnamese food lovers! Probably won't make again tmrc_emoticons.(

    So yummy!! I've taken this as nibbles to a few parties now & they always go down a treat. If there's any leftover, it gets turned into a salad with the dipping sauce as a dressing. Very tasty.

    Sensational - I steamed some as per the recipe but also wrapped in wonton pastry & steamed these too. They were delicious both ways.

    Heat 500g Water 7 mins/varoma/spd 1. Do this whilst you are rolling the meatballs.

    Could you clarify your comment - do you first have to preheat the water in the thermomix before adding the porkballs in the Varoma or whether you mean the total time for both preheating the water and cooking is 15minutes.
