Some things surprise me, like when my two girls loved this pork meatball recipe. Even better this has proved a successful meal with a lot of different children who have eaten at our house. The recipe is extremely simple, so give it a go and let me know if your children like it!
Ingredients:
2 tablespoons canola oil
1 medium brown onion, finely chopped
1 clove Garlic, finely chopped
500g minced (ground) pork
1 tablespoon fish sauce
2 teaspoons five-spice powder
2 teaspoons mirin
1 teaspoon freshly chopped coriander (optional)
Take all the ingredients, except the canola oil, and place in a food processor bowl. Process until the mixture is quite fine. Wet your hands and roll the mixture into teaspoon size meatballs.
Heat the oil in a fry pan over a medium heat. Fry the meatballs, turning until they are golden brown on all sides. Serve with rice and coleslaw.

I thought I’d try these meatballs out prior to our little boy’s arrival. He’s nearly 2 and I think he’ll love these meatballs! They went down a treat with us grown-ups too. Thanks Andrea – and Isabel!
