Vietnamese pork balls

This is the first time I have made Vietnamese pork balls, it is so simple to make. It’s the same steps as making the Vietnamese ham, but instead, I made it into a pork ball and boiled it in water, using a sauce pot. You will find it hard when you first make it, but once you do it a couple of times, you will get the hang of it and make perfect Vietnamese pork balls. The Vietnamese fish sauce, tapioca flour, sesame oil and Chinese cooking wine can be found at a Chinese supermarket. At the bottom I have the recipe how to make the Vietnamese pork balls. If you like, you can check out my Vietnamese pork ham I posted how to make it.
Some people might not like the Vietnamese fish sauce taste, but if you don’t try it, you will never know whether you like it or not. The pork balls taste delicious, and it came out very good, and I like it a lot.
Kids and adults would love these Vietnamese pork balls. You can have these for lunch or dinner. The best combination that goes with these Vietnamese pork balls would be rice or noodles. Don’t microwave too long, or else it will be tough. If you cannot finish them, you can put it in the fridge and eat them the next day. Give this recipe a try and see if you like it.
