Tonight I baked some chinese meatballs. I've made them a bunch of times and they taste very good, but they look like hot ass so I didn't take a picture. Sorry
Here's the recipe, though! These are tasty and I hope you enjoy making them.

Pork Meatballs
Ingredients:
500g pork mince
A white onion
Garlic (i use paste)
Ginger (i use paste)
1 egg
Cornstarch
Soy sauce
Rice Vinegar
Shaoxing wine
Salt
MSG
White pepper
Black pepper
Steps:
Cut up your onion and set it aside. I like big pieces of onion but you can cut them how you like and put in as much or as little as you want. I use about half the onion.
Turn on your oven and preheat it to 200c. You could also steam these, but it has been a while since I did that.
Get a big bowl, we only use one bowl for this recipe. Make sure you have a big tray to put all the meatballs on.
First we make a slurry with all the wet ingredients except for the egg and the cornstarch:
1tbsp Cornstarch, 2tsp ginger paste, 1tsp garlic paste, 1tsp Rice Vinegar, 1tbsp Shaoxing wine, 1tbsp light soy sauce
Then add a couple of dry seasonings to that:
Big pinch of salt, fair pinch of MSG, 1/4 tsp white pepper, 1/3 tsp black pepper
Use a fork to stir that up, break up any lumps, until its a nice loose slurry. Then, put the meat and onions in the bowl and stir it all together until loosely incorporated, and then add the egg and stir that in too.
After it's all incorporated, keep stirring for like three to five minutes until it becomes paste-y, like you an spread it against the side of the bowl. Then we take big handfuls of the meat and slap it down into the bowl. All this stuff we're doing to it is going to give the meatballs a better consistency when they are cooked.
Use a tablespoon to measure out the meatballs, shape them in your hand so they're nice and round, and place them on the sheet evenly.
Place the tray into the oven and cook for 30-35 minutes.
Enjoy!!!
