Instructions
 

Meatballs

  • Prepare and make sure to properly measure all ingredients ahead of time.
  • It is good if you can find fatty ground pork. The ratio of 70:30 meat to fat is good, but 80:20 is also acceptable for the dish.
  • Use a large mixing bowl and transfer the ground pork.
  • Put all together ginger, scallion, breadcrumbs, egg, cornstarch, five-spice powder, white pepper, Shaoxing wine, light soy sauce, oyster sauce, and water.
  • Blend all ingredients well for 10 minutes until they become paste in texture.
  • Crush the water chestnut using the side of the knife and mince. Add it to the mixture and continuously mix everything for another 5 minutes. It is good to use a rubber spatula to scrape the side of the bowl.

Frying

  • Preheat (350 degrees F or 175 degrees C) to the small pot and put enough vegetable oil to submerge the meatballs.
  • Put some oil on your palm, divide the meatball into 8 to 9 pieces, and make a round shape.
  • Put each meatball carefully into the heated oil and fry for 2 minutes per batch or until golden brown.
  • Remove the par-cooked meatballs and set them aside.

Sauce

  • Using a wok, preheat it on low fire. Put the ginger and white parts of the scallion and pan fry it for 1 minute.
  • Add some sugar and cook until it dissolves.
  • Put the wine, light soy sauce, dark soy sauce, oyster sauce, and water, then stir everything and bring it to a boil.
  • Afterward, add the meatball to the boiling sauce and simmer for about 12 to 15 minutes over a low fire.
  • Flip each meatball halfway to ensure that everything is equally cooked.
  • Take out the meatball and arrange it on a serving plate.
  • Pour the cornstarch slurry into your sauce mixture and stir until thickened.
  • Using sesame oil, stir the green part of the scallion until wilted.

Plating

  • Put the sauce over your meatballs and serve while hot.
