This is a Chinese meatball recipe with ground pork and spiced with five-spice powder. Fried meatballs is a homey recipe, one that you can prepare every day for your family without much hassle: a recipe that is great for children and adults alike. I finished almost half of the serving just as soon as the meatballs were out of the wok; it’s delicious as is, and great as an entree for home-cooked Chinese meal. You can also serve this meatball as an appetizer…
The only special ingredient in this fried meatball recipe is the fish paste, which makes the fried meatball extra yummy. I use frozen fish paste. If you can’t find it, you can also substitute it with minced shrimp. Enjoy!

looks very delicious and yummy,i like this recipe, thanks for sharing.It is done and enjoy it…..
I usually like to add ‘yau-yue’ or dried cuttlefish for more taste, the way my mom used to make pork balls or cutlets. That’s when I overeat, ha ha lol
Ooh, this looks delicious! While it’s likely to get eaten right away when made up, do you happen to know if this recipe freezes well?
What would you think of substituting the fish paste with shrimp paste?
Yes, you can. Get 2 oz of raw shrimp and mince it. It will work just fine. Let me know how it goes. :)
Oh this looks yummy and easy, I will have to add this to my “to make” list.
Definitely and after you try this fried meatballs recipe, I am sure you want more!
I can take this meatball one after another without noticing how much calories intake.
Me too, so addictive.
I never tried adding fish paste to my meatballs, that’s so creative, I think it makes a huge difference in taste, got to try this now…
Definitely. Restaurants always add fish paste to their meat balls or similar food, that’s why they are so DELICIOUS. :)
I come from an Italian family where meatballs are serious comfort food – love this version with five spice powder and fish sauce! Just brilliant.
Hi Katherine – you should try it. It’s very good!
My mom would also add grated taro. I suppose every family would have their own version but the end result would be delicious nonetheless as they are made with love at home.
Grated taro, that’s a great idea. Yes, love meatballs.
I tried last nite but the meatballs shrink after I take them out of the frying pan. Your picture shows round bouncy meatballs. can u pls tell me why. thks
I am not sure why though, but I think it’s because the meat balls lost its moisture during the deep-frying process. Did you fry for too long?
Did you say fish sauce? YUM! I love anything with fish sauce~~! I’ve heard about five-spice. I need to look into that when I go to Asian market next. I’ve seen many recipes with that spice but I’m not familiar with it. Thanks for the wonderful recipe Bee!
Will try it today. Thanks for the recipe.
My paternal grandma used to make delicious fried meatballs every CNY. Now she’s so much older and has had a relapse of cancer, we no longer get to enjoy such treats. I’ll try this recipe and make some for her to try. :-) Hope she will like it cos it sounds really good.
Why I cant see your meat ball recipe?

Can I add fresh fish paste instead of the frozen one, what other ingredient should I put into the fresh fish paste? Thanks.
Yes, you can. You just add the fish paste into the pork.
Hi, would you recommend any sauce for this? :)
Chili sauce, Lingham.
I love this! Just made this for dinner and my son loves it! Thank you so much for sharing all your wonderful recipes. Reminds me of my childhood with my granparents!
I would like to make these for dinner but I am struggling with what sides to have with the meatballs. Any ideas?
I think it goes well with salad or even soups, or noodles.
Great post! These look delicious! Any idea what the average time to cook would be for these? Not sure how to tell when they’re done. Thanks! :)
Tried this last night and it was good! :) But I added carrot purée and chopped coriander as there’s no onion at home. How would I know if the meatballs are well cooked yet not overly cooked inside? Cheers!
I just love this! Terrific pictures.
