Cooking Meat Lions head meatballs

Celebrate Chinese New Year with classic dishes, like pork mince balls with shredded cabbage.

  1. Combine the mince, shallot, egg white, light soy sauce, sugar and 1 tablespoon of sherry in a large bowl. Season with salt and pepper. Roll the mixture into 6 balls. Transfer to a plate. Cover with plastic wrap and place in the fridge for 30 minutes to rest.
  2. Heat the oil in a large non-stick frying pan. Spread cornflour over a plate. Gently toss meatballs in the cornflour. Add to pan. Cook, turning occasionally, for 5-6 minutes or until browned. Transfer to a plate.

Place 1 meatball on 1 reserved wombok leaf and transfer to the dish. Repeat with remaining reserved wombok and meatballs. Add the stock, ginger, remaining sherry and soy sauce.
