Filipino style Bola Bola (meatballs)

Oddly enough, you would not find this dish in Filipino restaurants but it is a very common dish of this culture, found in many families kitchen.  Each recipe slightly different from one another but made the same way.  Mr.'s mom made this dish several times and it looked easy enough for me to replicate it.  If you like fried items, you would like this. :D   Crispy outside. Juicy inside. :D

Ingredients:
1 1/2 pound of ground pork
1 white onion - finely diced
1 carrot - finely diced
1 - 2 roasted sweet pepper (from the jar) - finely chopped
2-3 stems of green onion - finely chopped
drizzle of soya sauce
white pepper & salt
1tsp of sugar
1/2 cup of cornstarch

Directions:
Combine all ingredients above except for cornstarch together in a big bowl.
Roll into bite size balls then coat each balls with cornstarch.
Heal wok with 1 1/2 inch of vegetable oil in medium heat and begin frying meatballs in batches for 15mins each.
Once golden brown,  place on paper towel to absorb excess oil. 
True to Filipino way of eating, eat with rice :D Spoon and fork way. :D
