Crispy Tofu and Pork Meatballs

5. Shape the Meatballs:

• Use your hands to form small meatballs, about the size of a ping-pong ball (approximately 20 grams each).

6. Fry the Meatballs:

• Heat the cooking oil in a deep pan or skillet over medium heat.
• Fry the meatballs in batches, turning occasionally, until they are golden brown and cooked through, about 4–5 minutes per batch. Drain on a paper towel to remove excess oil.

7. Serve:

• Serve the crispy meatballs warm with your favorite dipping sauce, such as soy sauce, sweet chili sauce, or garlic aioli.
