Ingredients

1 lb. ground pork
4 garlic cloves
1 Teaspoon white pepper
1 Tablespoons salt
2 Tablespoons flour
2 Tablespoons crushed ice
2 cups water for boiling
2 cups cold water
Wooden Skewers
Oil for Deep Frying

Preparation

Combine the pork with the white pepper, salt, flour and garlic and blend in a food processor.
Add the crushed ice and blend it again for 3 minutes until well mixed. The ice will melt during cooking and make the mix spongy, you want small crystals of ice mixed throughout the pork mix.
You will need two spoons for this. Boil water and take spoonfuls of the mixture carefully forming them into a ball using the spoons, and drop into the boiling water to cook for about 2 minutes. Remove and put into the cold water to cool.
Drain on a rack and skewer them onto the wooden sticks. Deep fry the skewered pork balls for 3 minutes until brown.

Serve with sweet or hot chili sauce.

Interesting technique using the ice, I've never heard of that before. They sure look good.

Thanks Doc and Cooksie! That's what I found fascinating too but adding the ice somehow puffs them up and makes them nice and moist inside.

interesting technique I understand the boiling water, but I would imagine they have to be fairly dry before you deep fry. Wet balls and hot oil would be just asking for a explosion. kind of a deep-fried pork meatball. I like it!

Thanks Lee!

Guts, you definitely want to drain them good after boiling before deep frying them. lol I did them individually and then put them on the skewer to serve because they wouldn't fit in my deep fryer on the skewer.....
