Hot and Sour Pork and Chicken Meatballs

I devised these meatballs to be eaten as canapés at the launch party for a friend’s book about Indo-China; they were to bring back memories for all the old Indo-China hands. As it was a large gathering, I made 550 little meatballs and they disappeared astonishingly fast.

If you serve the meatballs as a main course, accompany them with Chinese noodles and steamed, sliced spring greens with soy sauce.
