Ingredients
-
300
grams Minced pork
-
2 tablespoons
water
-
1/2 teaspoon of salt
-
2 tablespoons coriander (cilantro) stalks, chopped
-
1 tablespoon sliced spring onions
-
1 teaspoon of grated fresh ginger
-
Black pepper
-
1 cup glutinous rice
-
1 tablespoon cornstarch
Directions
-
Rinse the rice until the water runs clear and then soak for an hour. Remove, rinse and drain in a sieve. Spread the rice on a flat plate and pat with a paper towel to remove the excess water.
-
Mix the pork with the water, wine, coriander, ginger, onions, salt and pepper and mix well to combine . Add the cornstarch and then mix. That's your filling all done.
-
Using a teaspoon dipped in water, scoop up spoonfuls and roll into balls.
-
When your meat balls are ready, roll them in the rice till they are completely coated.
-
Prepare a steamer by lining with a damp cloth. Place the pearl balls in, about 2 cm apart
-
Steam over high heat for half and hour
-
Remove and serve. I served mine with a passata made with ginger and coriander, though the chinese typically serve them with soy sauce.
