6 steps
  1. 01

    In a large bowl, mix the ground pork, ground beef, and onion until evenly combined.

  2. 02

    Add the egg, whole milk, breadcrumbs, salt, and black pepper, then stir until the mixture becomes soft and sticky.

  3. 03

    Let the mixture rest so the breadcrumbs can absorb the liquid and the meat mixture firms slightly.

  4. 04

    Heat the canola oil in a large skillet over medium heat.

  5. 05

    Shape the mixture into oval meatballs with a spoon or wet hands, then fry them in batches until browned on both sides and cooked through in the center.

  6. 06

    Serve hot while still juicy from the pan.
