Pork And Shrimp Asian Meatballs Food

ASIAN PORK AND SHRIMP PARTY MEATBALLS

Steps:

• Thaw the shrimp, peel and discard the shells or save them to make fish stock at another time. Chop the shrimp in a food processor. Add the chopped shrimp to a medium bowl and add the ground pork, fish sauce, tamari, sweetener and sesame oil. Mix thoroughly with a hand mixer. Mince the remaining ingredients and add to the bowl with the pork and shrimp mixture. Combine thoroughly with the hand mixer.
• To Form The Asian Pork And Shrimp Meatballs: Pour the chicken broth into a medium pot and over medium heat, bring to a simmer. Line a small sheet pan with plastic wrap, parchment or foil. With lightly oiled or moistened hands, remove portions about the size of walnuts from the pork and shrimp mixture and roll into balls and place on the sheet pan. There should be about 60 meatballs.
• To Cook The Asian Pork And Shrimp Meatballs: Place the meat balls into the simmering water and simmer until cooked through. They will float to the top of the broth when they are getting close, but will still need to go at least five minutes or more. Cut one in half to test, to be sure.
• Remove the covering from the sheet pan. When the pork and shrimp meatballs are cooked through, remove from the broth and place back on the sheet pan.
• In a large frying pan, add the ingredients for the sauce and cook over medium heat until it reduces by half. Add the pork and shrimp meatballs and swirl them around in the frying pan to coat with the sauce by gently shaking the pan by the handle.

Steps:

• Make the meatballs: Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Heat 1 tablespoon vegetable oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the cabbage and season with 1/4 teaspoon salt; cook, stirring occasionally, until softened, about 4 minutes. Transfer the cabbage to a plate to cool. Wipe out the pan, then add the remaining 1 tablespoon vegetable oil and the mushrooms. Season with 1/4 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper and cook, stirring occasionally, until lightly browned, about 5 minutes. Transfer the mushrooms to the plate with the cabbage to cool.
• Lightly beat the eggs and egg white in a large bowl. Add the pork, scallions, garlic, ginger, soy sauce, sesame oil, sugar and cornstarch. Add the cabbage, mushrooms and a few grinds of pepper and mix with your hands until just combined (do not overmix). Dampen your hands and shape the meat mixture into 18 balls (about 2 inches each); arrange on the prepared baking sheet.
• Make the sauce: Mix the hoisin sauce, Sriracha, vinegar, sugar and 1 tablespoon water in a bowl; set aside 1/2 cup for serving. Brush the meatballs with the remaining sauce and sprinkle with the sesame seeds. Bake until cooked through, 18 to 22 minutes. Serve in lettuce leaves with the reserved sauce.

SHRIMP AND PORK BALLS WITH SPICY LIME DIPPING SAUCE

Steps:

• In the bowl of a food processor combine the scallions, half of the ginger - grated or minced, half of the chopped chile pepper, garlic, 3 tablespoons tamari, cilantro and the lime zest. Pulse for 30 seconds, scrape down the bowl and then continue to process 1 minute or until finely ground. Add the shrimp and pork, process until the shrimp are ground into small pieces and the mixture is well combined but not so fine that it becomes a paste, about 1 minute. Roll the shrimp and pork mixture into to 24 balls, about the size of a large walnut. If you dip your hands in water before rolling the mixture the rolling goes a little easier.
• Preheat a large nonstick skillet with 4 tablespoons of vegetable oil over medium heat. Add the balls and don't move them until they are brown on 1 side, about 2 minutes. Turn the balls and continue to cook, browning on all sides until cooked through, about 4 minutes.
• While the balls are cooking make the spicy lime dipping sauce: in a bowl combine the remaining ginger, chili pepper, 1/2 cup tamari, lime juice, toasted sesame oil, honey and 3 tablespoons (a splash) of water. Taste and adjust the seasoning, if you find it to be too salty, add another drizzle of honey.
• Platter the shrimp and pork balls with a bowl of the spicy lime dipping sauce and toothpicks.
