I like humble street foods like <a href=\"https:\/\/redhousespice.com\/hot-dry-noodles\/\">Hot Dry Noodles<\/a>, as well as restaurant-style dishes like pearl meatballs (&#29645;&#29664;&#20024;&#23376;), a signature delicacy that showcases Hubei locals&rsquo; passion for steamed food.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Minced pork is delicately seasoned and mixed with finely chopped water chestnuts. Before putting into the steamer to cook, they&rsquo;re coated with a layer of glutinous rice. When the finished dish is brought to the table, you&rsquo;d understand why it was given such a poetic name.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Often a popular choice for special dinners and <a href=\"https:\/\/redhousespice.com\/chinese-new-year-recipes\/\">festive meals<\/a>, <strong>pearl meatballs are surprisingly easy to make<\/strong>! I hope my tried and tested recipe will help you create them to a restaurant standard.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group is-style-group-heart has-feast-branding-color-background-background-color has-background is-layout-constrained wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\">\n<p><strong>Love meatballs<\/strong>?

I think they need to have a well-balanced taste and a tender, juicy texture. Here is a list of ingredients you need to reach the goal (see precise measurements in the recipe card below):<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Minced meat.<\/strong> Pork is traditionally used in this recipe. But minced chicken or turkey would work too.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Salt<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Ground white pepper<\/strong>. You may replace it with either <a href=\"https:\/\/redhousespice.com\/five-spice-chicken\/\">five spice powder<\/a> or <a href=\"https:\/\/redhousespice.com\/sichuan-peppercorn\/\">ground Sichuan pepper<\/a>. In this case, reduce the quantity by half.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Cornstarch<\/strong>. Other types of starch, e.g. tapioca, potato, sweet potato, can be used as substitutes.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Light soy sauce<\/strong>.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Sesame oil<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Egg white<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Ginger and scallion<\/strong>s<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Mix together all the ingredients above in a bowl. Use a spatula, or chopsticks like Chinese cooks do, to stir it in one direction until the meat becomes sticky.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#128718; <strong>Gluten-Free Adaptation:<\/strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/redhousespice.com\/soy-sauce\/\">Light soy sauce<\/a> is the only ingredient in this recipe that contains wheat. So you may replace it with gluten-free soy sauce or tamari to make this dish suitable for a gluten-free diet.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group is-layout-flow wp-block-group-is-layout-flow\">\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"add-a-little-crunchiness\"><span style=\"background-color:rgba(0, 0, 0, 0);color:#4d8682\" class=\"has-inline-color\">Add a little crunchiness<\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>If you&rsquo;re a regular reader of my blog, you know how much I love to talk about the texture of food. In Chinese cuisine, the contrast of softness and crunchiness is greatly appreciated. Pearl meatballs deliver the same quality by including crunchy vegetables.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/redhousespice.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/canned-water-chestnut-scaled.jpg\" alt=\"Canned water chestnut on a chopping board\" class=\"wp-image-12321\"><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Water chestnuts are one of the best choices. For example, it&rsquo;s essential for making the banquet dish <a href=\"https:\/\/redhousespice.com\/lions-head-meatballs\/\">Lion&rsquo;s Head Meatballs<\/a>. Not only does it provide a pleasant mouthfeel (<em>Kou Gan\/&#21475;&#24863;<\/em>), it also adds a nice hint of sweetness to the overall savoury taste.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/redhousespice.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/minced-pork-and-water-chestnut-scaled.jpg\" alt=\"minced meat with minced water chestnuts\" class=\"wp-image-17606\"><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Canned water chestnuts are easily accessible in Chinese\/Asian stores. Chop them small but no need to mince to a super fine paste. Mix with the meat until they are very well distributed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#128718; <strong>Alternatives<\/strong>: Other crunchy vegetables, such as bamboo shoots, lotus roots, celery, etc. can be used as substitutes.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group is-layout-flow wp-block-group-is-layout-flow\">\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"shape-the-meatballs\"><span style=\"background-color:rgba(0, 0, 0, 0);color:#4d8682\" class=\"has-inline-color\">Shape the meatballs<\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Many years ago, I learnt from my dad a quick and efficient way to shape minced meat into round balls. To this day, whenever I make meatball dishes, I think of him with a big smile on my face (If you&rsquo;re familiar with making meatballs and happy with your own technique, please feel free to skip this section).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/redhousespice.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/shaping-a-meatball-scaled.jpg\" alt=\"shaping meatballs with hands\" class=\"wp-image-17607\"><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Over the palm of your hand, place 2-3 spoonfuls of the meat mixture (wear a kitchen glove if you wish).<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Gently close your hand into a fist while squeezing some mixture out through the opening between your thumb and index finger to form a ball.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Use a spoon to scoop it off. Keep feeding your hand with more mixture and repeat the procedure to shape more balls.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p>Just for your reference, the meatballs that I made for this recipe measure <strong>about 4 cm\/1&frac12; inches each.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you&rsquo;d prefer a visual presentation, check out my recipe for <a href=\"https:\/\/redhousespice.com\/winter-melon-soup-with-meatballs\/\">Winter Melon Meatball Soup<\/a> which includes a tutorial video.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group is-layout-flow wp-block-group-is-layout-flow\">\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"coat-with-glutinous-rice\"><span style=\"background-color:rgba(0, 0, 0, 0);color:#4d8682\" class=\"has-inline-color\">Coat with glutinous rice<\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Glutinous rice (aka sticky rice\/&#31983;&#31859;) plays an important role in Chinese cuisine. Sticky, gooey with a hint of sweetness, it&rsquo;s used in many classic dishes, such as <a href=\"https:\/\/redhousespice.com\/zongzi-two-ways\/\">Sticky Rice Dumplings<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/redhousespice.com\/eight-treasure-rice\/\">Eight Treasure Rice<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/redhousespice.com\/chinese-sticky-rice\/\">Stir-Fried Sticky Rice<\/a>, etc.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In today&rsquo;s dish, glutinous rice acts as a coating on the meatballs. After steaming, it becomes bigger, semi-transparent and creates a hedgehog-like look. But its most important contribution is to provide a subtly sweet taste and an interesting gooey texture.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/redhousespice.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/coating-rice-over-a-meatball-scaled.jpg\" alt=\"coating rice over a meatball\" class=\"wp-image-17604\"><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>It&rsquo;s important to soak the rice beforehand<\/strong>. Two hours will be enough but you may leave it overnight too. Well-hydrated rice grains look slightly bigger and can be easily broken if pinched between fingers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Once you&rsquo;ve shaped all the meatballs, drain the rice then gently roll each ball in it to get an even coating.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#128718; <strong>Note:<\/strong> Despite its name being similar to the word gluten, glutinous rice doesn&rsquo;t contain any gluten. Both long-grain and short-grain varieties work for this recipe.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group is-layout-flow wp-block-group-is-layout-flow\">\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"steam-the-dish\"><span style=\"background-color:rgba(0, 0, 0, 0);color:#4d8682\" class=\"has-inline-color\">Steam the dish<\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>By now, you&rsquo;ve done most of the hard work. The last step, steaming, is very straightforward: Bring water to a full boil then <strong>steam the meatballs for 15 minutes<\/strong>. They&rsquo;re ready to be served!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/redhousespice.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/steaming-pearl-meatballs-scaled.jpg\" alt=\"meatballs in a steamer\" class=\"wp-image-17611\"><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>As you can see from the image above, my setup for steaming is:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Use a steamer rack to support a flat plate.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Place slices of carrot on the plate then put the meatballs on top.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>It&rsquo;s perfectly fine to use alternative methods. For example, skip the carrot and steam the meatballs on their own, or directly place the meatballs inside a steamer basket without using a plate (you can line the basket with napa cabbage leaves).<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group is-layout-constrained wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\">\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"how-to-serve\"><span style=\"background-color:rgba(0, 0, 0, 0);color:#4d8682\" class=\"has-inline-color\">How to serve<\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/redhousespice.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/steamed-meatballs-with-glutinous-rice-scaled.jpg\" alt=\"Steamed Chinese pearl meatballs\" class=\"wp-image-17610\"><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Pearl meatballs can be paired with many Chinese savoury dishes.
