I like meatball dishes either by cooking in deep frying, braising or steaming. Whenever I come across any meatball recipes, I usually will bookmark it; I don't know why. Maybe I feel it is easy to chew and it is most suitable for the elderly too.
I have few more meatballs dishes which I intend to cook very soon but today I am posting here is the Pearl Meat Balls. Another recipe from Nami of JustOneCookbook
Pearl MeatBalls
I have half the recipe from Nami of Just One Cookbook(with slight change)
Ingredients:
½ cups
glutinous rice (soak about 4 hours, drain and set aside)
250g
mince meat (you can use pork, chicken or even prawn too!)
½ tbsp
green onions, chopped
½ egg
½ tbsp
light soy sauce
1/8 tsp
salt
A dash or
two pepper
some Shao Xin Wine
some Shao Xin Wine
2-3 water
chestnuts, peeled, smashed then minced
Methods:
1. Mix all other ingredients together except the
glutinous rice in a large bowl.
2. Grab handfuls of the mixed ingredients, pat
them in your palms to make the mixture
stickier.
3. Start boiling water to prepare the steamer.
(You can lay a piece of cheese cloth on
the bottom of steamer, depend on you to
absorb
the steaming water).
4. Make meat balls, about 1 inch diameter each.
5. Roll the meat balls in glutinous rice, make
sure all sides are covered.
6. Place
the pearl balls into your steamer, steam on high for 20 minutes.
At first I wasn't sure what is Sweet Rice that Nami is indicating in her recipe, and I google search only to find out it was Glutinous Rice.
Those who loves to eat Glutinous Rice, I am sure you will like this too!
This Pearl Meatballs is easy to make! And delicious too. Dip some chilli sauce before going into your mouth.
