Steamed pork balls with pad thai noodles

Ingredients:

18 oz ground pork
510g
1/4 cup soy sauce
60g
2 red hot chili peppers
80g
1 cup rice noodles
230g
1 tbsp water
16g
4 shallots
200g

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Noodles:
- Place the rice noodles in a large bowl. Pour enough hot water over them to submerge completely.
- Let them soak for 8-10 minutes or until they are soft but still firm to the bite (al dente). Drain and set aside.
2. Prepare the Pork Mixture:
- In a large bowl, combine the ground pork, soy sauce, chopped red hot chili peppers, and water. Mix thoroughly until the ingredients are well incorporated.
- Add the finely chopped shallots and mix again until evenly distributed.
3. Form the Pork Balls:
- With clean hands, shape the pork mixture into small balls, about the size of a golf ball.
- Arrange the pork balls in a single layer on a plate or a steam-proof dish.
4. Steaming the Pork Balls:
- Set up your steamer. Fill the bottom with water and bring to a gentle boil.
- Place the plate or dish with the pork balls into the steamer basket.
- Cover and steam for about 20-25 minutes, or until the pork balls are cooked through and no longer pink in the center.
5. Serving:
- While the pork balls are steaming, you can lightly toss the soaked noodles with a bit of oil to prevent them from sticking.
- Once the pork balls are ready, remove them from the steamer.
6. Assembly:
- On a serving platter, arrange the steamed pork balls and rice noodles.
- Garnish with additional chopped chili peppers or sliced shallots if desired.
7. Enjoy:
- Serve hot and enjoy your delicious steamed pork balls with pad thai noodles!
