2. Form Pork Balls:

   • Roll 1/2 tablespoon of the pork mixture into small balls and place them on a tray lined with greaseproof paper. Ensure uniform size for even cooking.

3. Prepare Serving Bowls:

4. Cook Pork Balls:

   • In a large pan, combine sesame oil and chicken stock. Bring the mixture to a boil over medium heat.
   • Carefully add the pork balls to the boiling stock in batches. Cook until they float to the top, indicating they are cooked through.
