Method

Finely chop two of the garlic cloves and stir them into the minced pork with the ginger and coriander. Season with salt and pepper and stir in the egg. Make the pork into small balls about 2.5 cm (1 inch) in diameter, rolling them lightly in flour seasoned with salt and pepper. Heat a little sunflower oil in a heavy-based frying pan (use the minimum you need to prevent the balls from sticking)
