3. Chop the green onions, discarding the roots and the very darkest tips of the leaves, peel and crush the garlic, and add with the green onions to the pork.
4. Pull the parsley and mint leaves from their stems and chop coarsely, then add to the pork mixture with a generous seasoning of salt.
5. Mix thoroughly, then roll into about sixteen balls.
6. Warm a shallow film of oil in a nonstick pan and add the pork balls, and cook until they are nicely toasted all over.
7. Pour the stock into a saucepan and bring to a boil, season carefully with salt and black pepper, then lower in the pork balls.
