Best Chinese Pork Meatballs Recipes

CHINESE PORK MEATBALLS

Steps:

• Combine pork, eggs, 1/2 cup plus 1 1/2 tablespoon cornstarch, spring onions, ginger, salt, and soy sauce in a large bowl. Mix well and form into 8 balls.
• Heat oil in a large wok over medium heat. Cook meatballs in the hot oil until golden brown, 3 to 5 minutes. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate using a slotted spoon.
• Drain all but 2 tablespoons oil from the wok. Return meatballs to the wok; add enough chicken broth to just cover meatballs. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low; simmer until meatballs are no longer pink in the center, about 15 minutes.
• Mix remaining 1 tablespoon cornstarch with water in a bowl. Stir into the wok until chicken broth thickens, 3 to 5 minutes. Transfer to a serving dish.

• Add shrimp, pork and water chestnuts and mix well. Add salt and pepper to taste. Chill for 30 minutes.
• Prepare the broth: Chop the scallions and bok choy. Thinly slice the carrot and snow peas. Mince the garlic.
• Combine stock, scallions, garlic, ginger, soy sauce, and carrot in a large soup pot. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low and simmer, uncovered, for 10 minutes.
• Form meat mixture into 1" balls and drop into simmering soup (using wet hands makes this easier). Simmer for 10 minutes, until meatballs are cooked through and no longer pink.
