Detailed etymology
definitions
noun
- a meatball made from pounded and seasoned pork, sometimes with other meats such as cuttlefish added for depth of flavour. The pounding process causes the pork to adopt a texture similar to surimi (which is the paste used to make fishballs). The resulting meatball has a firm, bouncy texture.
