Bola-Bola (Filipino Meatballs)
Bola-bola are super-savory pork meatballs that are pan-fried until golden-brown and crispy. They are incredibly flavorful and always juicy. Serve these meatballs as the main dish or as an appetizer with sweet chili sauce for dipping. You can also add them to rice bowls, serve them with a crunchy slaw or salad, drop them in a soup, or eat them on a sandwich.
