EASY CHINESE MEATBALLS

Steps:

• In a large mixing bowl, mix ground pork with around 1 tablespoon. Stir in one direction until the water is well absorbed by the ground pork.
• Add chopped green onion, ginger, cornstarch and other seasonings. Keep stirring in one direction around 2 to 3 minutes until the mixture becomes very sticky. Reset for around 5 minutes. Then stir once again.
• Take one portion out and shape to a ball. Pat several times between two hands.
• Bring around half full water in a deep pot to a boiling, and then slide the meatballs in. Gently move them and use high fire to bring the water to a boiling again and straight after the boiling, slow the fire to medium fire so the balls will be not destroyed by over-strong fire.
• Transfer out and
• In a small bowl, add all the seasoning and then scoop meatball stock and pour to the dipping sauce bowl to tune the seasonings.
• Decorate with coriander and then serve with dipping sauce.

HOW TO MAKE CHINESE MEATBALLS

Steps:

• Place the mince into a chopper with the cold water and blitz for 20 seconds until the water has been absorbed by the meat. You could also do this by hand in a bowl with a fork or spoon.
• Mix all the other ingredients in a bowl into a smooth paste.
• Pour this paste onto the mince meat.
• Turn the chopper on again for 30 - 60 seconds until you have a smooth, well mixed meat paste. Again, you can do this in a bowl with a fork or spoon but it will take about 2 minutes of continuous mixing.
• Tip the meat paste into a bowl. If you are not ready to cook them yet, cover with clingfilm and place in the fridge until needed.
• When ready to cook, do a taste test first. Microwave a pinch of the meat paste for about 30 seconds, then taste it. Add more soy sauce if it needs it.
• Let's make some balls! Scoop a small amount of the meatball paste in your hand, clench your fist and push the paste between the "hole" made by your thumb and forefinger (see images and video).Use a teaspoon to scoop the ball of your hand.
• Keep doing this until all the meatball paste has been used up. You may have to rinse your hands in the bowl of cold water every 3 - 4 balls, to prevent sticking.
• At this stage, you could roll them between your palms to create more rounded and smooth meatballs, if you like. Again, don't forget to dip your hands in the bowl of cold water to keep the paste from sticking.
• Bring a pot of water or stock to boil.
• Lower the heat right down and slowly, slide the meatballs into the simmering water. You want them to form roughly a single layer, don't overfill the pot, so you may have to do this in 2 batches.
• Increase the heat to medium high and keep a close eye on the meatballs. As soon as the water starts to boil, lower the heat down to medium-low or low and simmer for 5 minutes. This should be enough time for the balls to cook. Don't let the water come to a rolling boil as the meatballs might fall apart.
• When they are done, scoop out with a skimmer or slotted spoon and use as required in a recipe.
