CHINESE PEARL MEATBALLS
When my neighbor's daughter was dedicated they had a family lunch. I prepared an 8 course Chinese meal for them. Pearl Meatballs were a big hit that day, and I made them for their family many times after that day. The daughter is now in college and I made some last fall for them to take to their tailgate.

Steps:
- 1. Soaked the rice for 2 hours. Mix the rest of the ingredients with ground pork in a mixing bowl and add 1 to 1.5 cups of water. Mix well and let sit for 30 minutes.
- 2. Spread out the soaked riced onto a plate. Roll the meat into a small ball with the help of a tablespoon.
- 3. Gently roll the meatball on the plate of rice to cover the meatball. Place onto a plate that can sit inside of the bamboo steamer.
- 4. Bring 1/2 pot of water to boil and place the stacked bamboo steamer (with the plated meatballs inside) on top. Make sure there's a good seal between the pot and the steamer. Steam for 30 minutes.
- 5. Take off the steamer from the pot and let it cool. Suggestion for plating: plate the meatballs on top of a bed of shredded lettuce and surround them by green broccoli or shredded green and red bell peppers.
- 6. DIPPING SAUCE: Mix all ingredients together and serve with pearl meatballs.
