Radish balls, a versatile and healthy dish, are loved for their crispy exterior and tender, savory center. Here’s a simple yet delicious recipe to make them at home.

Ingredients:

500g white radish (grated and squeezed dry), 200g minced pork, 2 eggs, 50g breadcrumbs, 3 chopped green onions, 1 minced garlic clove, 1 tbsp soy sauce, 1 tsp sesame oil, salt, pepper, and oil for frying.

Steps:

1. Prepare the filling: In a bowl, mix grated radish, minced pork, eggs, breadcrumbs, green onions, and garlic. Season with soy sauce, sesame oil, salt, and pepper. Stir until well combined.

2. Shape the balls: Wet your hands to prevent sticking. Take a tablespoon of the mixture and roll it into a 1.5-inch ball. Repeat until all mixture is used.

3. Cook the balls: Heat oil in a deep pan over medium heat. Fry the balls in batches for 3-4 minutes per side until golden brown and crispy. Alternatively, for a healthier version, bake them at 200°C (400°F) for 20-25 minutes, flipping halfway.

Serving Suggestions:

Enjoy radish balls as appetizers, with sweet chili sauce, or in soups. They pair well with rice or noodles, making them a perfect addition to any meal.

These customizable balls are easy to prepare and packed with flavor, offering a delightful twist to traditional radish dishes!
