Cooking 101: Spaghetti with Cheesie Pork Ball

Homemade goodness of Spaghetti with cheesie pork ball

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

I should have diced them up alittle finer but whatever

Light soy sauce and pepper

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

Throw in the diced up garlic and onions

Add some sesame oil

About 2 table spoon of it

Let it rest for awhile while we prepare the cheese :)

Cheddar cheese

Cut into cubes and you are ready to prepare the pork balls.

Uh, move along

Just nice for 2 plates of porkie balls

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

I steamed the pork balls for about 5 minutes

Almost there

The pan fits all LOL

Just to sear them a little

Bolognese sauce cooked with onions and mushroom

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!
