It's been awhile since I last did a Cooking 101. This time, it was sort of a failure but still tasted delicious. Wifey and I wanted to do some cheesie pork ball but we didn't want to waste some cheese we had but it's the wrong type of cheese; Cheddar which doesn't melt easily. Should have used Parmesan cheese instead.

Some things could have been done differently apart from just the cheese. For example, I should have pan fried the pork balls instead of steaming them.

Anyway here are the ingredients needed:

  1. Your choice of pasta; I used spaghetti - normal whole durum wheat and squid ink.
  2. Garlic
  3. Big Onions
  4. Cheddar Cheese(When you're trying this, please use Parmesan Cheese)
  5. Minced Pork(about >500g here)
  6. Sesame Oil
  7. Light Soy Sauce
  8. Pepper

Once we were done with the seasoning, we left it in the refrigerator to rest for about 10mins.

Add some butter so that they don't stick. It adds more aroma anyway :)

I steamed the pork balls for about 5 minutes

As you can see, the supposed-to-be-melting-cheese didn't go as plan but still, the taste was good. I will try again for a cheesie pork ball attempt but I might also do a homemade pork burger entry as well.

Till then, have a good weekend peeps!

    1. Hey Eunice,

      haha wah...thank you for your kind words :P It was hot enough but the cheese is not the right type for the melting effect.
