Frozen Rice Meatballs

Frozen Rice Meatballs

　　Ingredients

Main ingredient: 300g pork (fat and lean)

Side ingredients: 50g steamed rice, 15g dried shrimp, 65g water chestnuts, 10g ham

Seasonings: 8g scallions, 15g cooking wine, 3g MSG, 1g pepper, 3g salt

Method:

1. In winter, freeze sticky rice solid in a cold place, then break it up, press each grain flat by hand, dry it in the sun, and soak it in water to soften when needed. Drain off the water to make frozen rice.

2. Wash the pork and chop it into minced meat.

3. Wash the scallions and chop them finely.

4. Peel the water chestnuts, wash them, lightly crush them with a knife, then chop them into fine pieces.

5. Steam the dried shrimp with cooking wine and chopped scallions and ginger, let them cool, then chop them into fine pieces (remove the scallion and ginger bits).

6. Chop the cooked ham into fine pieces.

7. Place the minced pork in a bowl, add the water chestnut pieces, dried shrimp pieces, MSG, cooking wine, pepper, salt, and mix well with chopsticks. While mixing, gradually add some water. Once mixed, shape into small meatballs.

8. Place the small meatballs in a bowl of frozen rice, ensuring each is evenly coated with frozen rice.

9. Put the frozen rice–coated meatballs onto a plate and steam for 20 minutes. Before serving, sprinkle with chopped ham.

Features:

The frozen rice is soft, the meatballs are tender, with white and red colors blending beautifully.
