How to Make Pork Meatball Banh Mi

  1. In a large bowl, combine 500g pork mince, 2 finely chopped spring onions, 2 tablespoons fish sauce, 1/4 cup chopped coriander leaves, 1 tablespoon chilli sauce (adjust to taste), 2 cloves minced garlic, 1 teaspoon sugar, 1 teaspoon salt, 1/2 teaspoon black pepper, and 2 tablespoons flour. Mix thoroughly with your hands until well combined.
  2. Using wet hands, shape the mixture into 3cm diameter meatballs.
  3. Heat 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the meatballs and cook, rolling them frequently, until they are golden brown and cooked through (about 8-10 minutes).
  4. While the meatballs cook, prepare your banh mi. Slice a baguette lengthwise.
  5. Spread mayonnaise on both halves of the baguette. Layer lettuce leaves, julienned carrots, and the cooked meatballs evenly on the bottom half.
  6. Garnish with fresh coriander sprigs and serve immediately. Enjoy your delicious Pork Meatball Banh Mi!
