Ingredients:

Serving

1/2 lb shrimp, peeled and deveined
4 green onions, diced
1 (2-inch) finger fresh ginger, finely chopped
2 cloves garlic, crushed
1 to 2 serrano peppers, seeded and chopped
1 lb ground pork
1 egg
3 tbsp tamari sauce
1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro leaves
1 lime , zested and juiced
1/4 cup peanut oil
1 mango, peeled and flesh chopped
1 star fruit, chopped
1 asian pear , seeds removed and chopped
3 tbsp palm sugar or piloncillo
1/4 cup tamarind juice , or 2 tbsp tamarind paste dissolved in 1/4 cup water
1/2 tsp red pepper flakes

Directions:

Rujak is a spicy mixed fruit salad found throughout Indonesia. Here I puree it to make a sweet and spicy sauce for meatballs.
For the meatballs: Add the shrimp, onions, ginger, garlic, peppers and pork to a large mixing bowl. Stir in the egg, tamari, cilantro, lime zest and juice and mix together until well combined. Form the mixture into balls using a disher (scoop). Heat the oil to a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Fry the balls until a good crust forms, before turning, about 2 minutes.
For the sauce: Add all of the fruit to a food processor and quickly pulse. Add the sugar, tamarind and red pepper flakes and puree until the mixture becomes a thick sauce.
Put a little of the sauce into a serving bowl and top with the meatballs. Serve with bowls of sauce on the side, and a container of toothpicks.
Cook's Note: Can't find star fruit? Substitute a can of drained pineapple pieces.
