Best Chinese Pearl Meatballs Recipes
CHINESE PEARL MEATBALLS
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.

Steps:
- Place the rice in a bowl with enough water to cover. Allow to soak 2 hours. Drain and pour onto a platter.
- 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.
- Line a large bamboo steamer with the cabbage leaves. Arrange the meatballs atop the cabbage leaves.
- 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.

CHINESE PEARL MEATBALLS
When my neighbor's daughter was dedicated they had a family lunch. I prepared an 8 course Chinese meal for them. Pearl Meatballs were a big hit that day, and I made them for their family many times after that day. The daughter is now in college and I made some last fall for them to take to their tailgate.
