Chinese Pearl Meatballs 珍珠丸子

% of readers think this story is Fact. Add your two cents.


Chinese Pearl Meatballs are actually steamed pork balls covered with glutinous rice (sticky rice).  It is a popular dish which originated from Hubei, China and is mostly served at Chinese banquet and reunion dinner.  The name ‘Pearl Meatball’ comes from the translucent glutinous rice and the shape of the meatballs looks like a pearl after steaming.

These tasty luscious meatballs are tender with only carrot and spring onion added in the pork meat and marinated with simple seasoning. You can also add some shitake mushrooms or fresh water chestnuts if you wish. It’s very easy to prepare the ingredients in a short time except that you need to presoak the glutinous rice in order to steam it till soft and translucent. You can steam these Chinese Pearl Meatballs and serve them immediately as a dim sum snack or store them in the freezer and steam them again (for 10-15 minutes) as and when you like or when there are guests at home.
