Thai Pork Meaty Bites

These Thai Pork Meaty Bites are perfect for babies and infants who are learning to self feed. Self-feeding not only encourages your baby to appreciate a food’s colour, texture and smell, but also helps him develop better hand control which is essential as they develop into toddlers. These can be made into larger meatballs or smaller bites depending on the age of your child. The smells and flavour of these are so delicious that your little one will be lucky if there are any left for them to enjoy! These also make a great entertaining food so make and refrigerate ahead of time for any upcoming parties. Then simply lightly pan fry when ready to serve.
