Chinese Pearl Balls Appetizers

Features:
    Cuisine:

    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.
