3/4 lb ground pork
1/2 lb large raw shrimp, peeled and deveined and coarsely chopped

Steps:

Place green onions, garlic, ginger and water chestnuts in your food processor and pulse until ingredients are finely chopped; transfer to a large bowl; add pork and mix.
Place shrimp in same food processor and pulse until finely chopped; add to pork mixture.
Add egg, oyster sauce, 1/2 tsp of sesame oil, soy sauce, salt and pepper to the pork mixture; mix lightly until just combined (I use my hands, it's easier), form into 1 1/2-inch balls.
Heat 3 tablespoons of the peanut oil to a large, non-stick skillet oven medium-high heat; add meatballs; cook, turning often, until browned and cooked through, about 10 minutes.
Meanwhile, toss noodles with remaining 1/2 tsp of sesame oil and 1 Tablespoon of peanut oil.
Serve meatballs over noodles.
Sprinkle with remaining chopped green onions.
Serve this with flash-cooked greens with garlic.
