Directions
Chinese Pearl Balls (Appetizers), These crunchy, bite size pork balls can be made ahead and steamed in the kitchen as guests arrive , A very good version of a classic Chinese recipe I was planning on following it exactly, but was forced to use bamboo shoots instead of water chestnuts I will certainly use water chestnuts when I make them again I greased my steamer with some sesame oil, which added a little extra flavor Next time, I’ll try to allow more time for the soaked rice to drain and dry naturally I will also add a little ground pepper to the meat mixture Regardless, these were delicious with hot Chinese mustard Thank you very much for sharing this recipe with us , A very good version of a classic Chinese recipe I was planning on following it exactly, but was forced to use bamboo shoots instead of water chestnuts I will certainly use water chestnuts when I make them again I greased my steamer with some sesame oil, which added a little extra flavor Next time, I’ll try to allow more time for the soaked rice to drain and dry naturally I will also add a little ground pepper to the meat mixture Regardless, these were delicious with hot Chinese mustard Thank you very much for sharing this recipe with us
