Directions

  1. Place the rice in a bowl with enough water to cover. Allow to soak 2 hours. Drain and pour onto a platter.

  2. Mix the ground pork, water, wine, cornstarch, soy sauce, onion, ginger, garlic, salt, and pepper in a bowl until all ingredients are evenly mixed. Divide and roll the mixture into balls 1-1/2 to 2 inches in size. Roll the meatballs in the soaked glutinous rice to coat completely.

  3. Line a large bamboo steamer with the cabbage leaves. Arrange the meatballs atop the cabbage leaves.

  4. Bring a large pot of water to a boil over high heat, place a bamboo steamer over the boiling water. Steam the meatballs until no longer pink in the center, about 30 minutes.

Recipe Yield

20 meatballs

Recipe Note

These tasty meatballs are easy to make. Wonderful for your Chinese New Year celebration or as an addition to a holiday buffet. Some folks dye the glutinous rice with red or green for a holiday touch. Another serving idea is to whisk together 1/4 cup soy sauce, 1 tablespoon sesame oil, and garlic to taste and sprinkle over the meatballs, rice, and some steamed vegetables.
