  • lean ground pork in equal measure
  • 1 or 2 scallion tops minced
  • a splash of soy
  • a splash of wine vinegar

  • a pinch of crushed red pepper

Directions

  1. Put a very large pot of water on to boil for the pasta.
  2. Put the sausage meat, the ground pork and all the seasonings into a bowl and mix with your hands.
  3. Form the mixture into tiny meatballs of about 5/8" diameter.
  4. Heat a large frying pan and add a little olive oil and then the meatballs. Sauté them, shaking the pan to keep them round, until they lose their color.
