How to choose fresh ingredients
How to choose fresh pork
- Fresh pork will have a light pink or light red color for lean meat, while fat will be translucent white.
- You should choose meat that has a dry surface, with soft pork skin (rind), and when touching the meat, you feel a good elasticity.
- Fresh pork will have a distinctive meat smell, not unpleasant or fishy.
- You should choose pieces of pork with distinct meat and fat texture, but they must stick tightly together, and when touched, they feel difficult to separate.
- Avoid choosing pieces of meat that have unusual colors, too pale or too dark. Do not buy meat with unusual spots on the skin as it may indicate the pig is sick or not tasty.
How to choose fresh and delicious rambutan
- You should choose rambutan that looks fresh and still has leaves and branches.
- Delicious rambutan has a crispy skin and intact spines on the outside. The flesh is opaque white, juicy, with a light fragrance.
- Avoid choosing rambutan that is red but not round in shape, as those tend to be flat and lack pulp.

Seasoning the meat

Then you mix the above mixture well so that the minced meat absorbs the seasoning evenly.

Shaping the rambutan pork ball
Take a bit of minced meat and place it on the palm of your hand, flatten the meat down, then add a bit of rambutan in the center to make the filling.
Gently shape the meat around to completely encase the filling inside, rolling it into a round shape to create beautiful and even meatballs.

Deep-fried chôm chôm pork ball coated in flour
Add 200ml of cooking oil to the pan, set the heat to low, wait for the oil to heat up, then quickly roll the meat in flour and drop the meatballs into fry.
When you see the meat turn golden, use chopsticks to stir the meat so that the meatballs cook evenly on both sides. Then remove the meat and let it drain.
