BBQ Lemongrass Pork Meatballs
Pork Ground pork in the fridge? Great as meatballs with rice and veg, or amazing as a pork patty/burger with all the fresh fixin's!
Equipment
- BBQ or broiler
Ingredients
- 2 lb ground pork
- 1 tbsp finely chopped red onion
- 2 thai chili finely chopped
- 2 tbsp lemongrass
- 1-2 tbsp soy sauce
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 3 shakes Worcestershire sauce
- 1 tsp salt
- 1½ tsp ground pepper
- 2 tbsp cilantro finely chopped, optional
- 1 egg for stickiness, optional
Instructions
Preparation
- Preheat oven to 400°F or BBQ grill to medium-high 400°F
- Combine all ingredients into a medium-large mixing bowl.
- Mix thoroughly until all components are satisfactorily mixed.
- On a plate or a cooking tray, roll out meatballs into whatever size you want...rounder balls will take longer to cook, that's the only variable in there! Patties are good too :)
Over/Broiler - 400°F/204°C
- Place well-spaced baking tray in pre-heated oven and bake at 400°F/204°C for 15-18 minutes.
- If desired, flip or roll meatballs halfway through. Makes a nicer, rounder shape...or don't. After all, this is #homecooked however you like it!
- Meatballs are done once they reach internal temperature of 160°F/71°C.
BBQ/Grill
- On a clean grill surface, cook meatballs directly on flame-heat for 15-18 minutes, rolling or flipping every few mintues (a. to prevent sticking, b. to ensure even cooking all around)... just don't burn them!
- Meatballs are done once they reach internal temperature of 160°F/71°C.
