These steamed Chinese rice balls are not only pretty looking but also really delicious! Definitely one of my favorite dishes!Ingredients | Authentic Chinese Pork Recipes
½ cup sticky rice
1 egg
1 (1 inch) piece fresh ginger root, minced
2 teaspoons soy sauce
salt to taste
4 ounces ground pork
2 tablespoons cornstarch
1 tablespoon pork stock, or as needed
¼ cup water, or as needed
1 teaspoon dried goji berries (wolfberries), or to taste
Directions
Rinse sticky rice and place in a bowl; cover with water. Soak rice for at least 3 hours. Drain.
Beat egg in a large bowl; mix in ginger root, soy sauce, and salt. Add pork, cornstarch, and pork stock; stir in 1 direction until combined, 5 to 6 minutes. Roll pork mixture into bite-size balls.
Pour enough water into the bottom of a wok to cover by about 1 inch; bring to a simmer.
Roll pork balls in sticky rice until they are coated completely. Place 6 balls in a steamer basket.
Place steamer in the wok and steam until pork is cooked through and rice is tender, about 30 minutes. Remove balls and garnish with goji berries.
Chicken stock can be used in place of the pork stock.
