Crispy Pork Balls

I am not sure exactly what happened with these meatballs. The cook time in the recipe stated 20 minutes at 200 degrees but it took these 60 minutes and I eventually upped the temp to 325 degrees. They taste good but the overall flavor of all the yummy ingredients did not last. So they overall tasted bland. Nice texture. Overall okay appearance. I did not make a dipping sauce for these but used Hoisin sauce instead.

Ingredients -
4 slices bread, no crust (or use bread crumbs)
1 tsp olive oil
8 oz pork, chopped
1/3 cup water chesnuts
2 fresh red chili's
1 egg white
1/4 cup fresh cilantro
1 tsp corn starch
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp ground pepper
2tbsp soy sauce


Sauce -
1 tbsp soy sauce
1 tsp sugar
2 tbsp rice vinegar
1/2 tsp chili oil

Mix all ingredients together minus bread crumbs. Mold into balls and roll into bread crumbs forming a nice outer layer to the meatballs. Preheat oven to 200 degrees and cook for 20 minutes (see my notes above).
