1–2 onions, finely chopped or minced

2 tsp sambal oelek (chilli paste) (2 or more, to taste)

Method

Mix all the ingredients together well in a bowl (or stand mixer) until the mixture is even and holds together.
Chill the mixture for about 30 minutes so it is easier to shape.
Shape balls with a tablespoon and fry in oil over a medium heat, 3–4 minutes a side, until golden and cooked through.
