Chinese Pearl Meatballs

Chinese Pearl Meatballs
  • 1/2 cup uncooked glutinous (sticky) white rice, rinsed
  • 2/3 pound ground pork
  • 2 tablespoons water
  • 1 tablespoon Chinese cooking wine
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch
  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce
  • 1 small onion, chopped
  • 1/2 teaspoon grated fresh ginger
  • 1/2 teaspoon minced garlic
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 dash ground black pepper
  • 2 leaves Chinese cabbage


  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.
