Steamed Sticky Rice Meat Balls (Pearl Meat Balls)
Everyone probably has a dish that helps reminds you of grandma’s cooking. For me, that dish is steamed sticky rice meat balls (or pearl meat balls).
Every New Year’s eve, everyone in my family will gather together at my grandparents’ house to celebrate the upcoming year over the “reunion dinner”. My grandmother will always make this dish for us.
When my grandma and my mom were making the rice balls before the reunion dinner. My cousin and I will always want to help. Even though we seemed to end up making a mess every time, we made everyone in the room laugh and it was a great time. When the dish was finally served at the table, my grandma will always thanked us for our “help” and put a rice ball in our bowls.
As you can tell, this steamed sticky rice meat ball dish has a lot of sentimental value for me.
This dish is not very hard to make. Essentially it’s just steamed meat balls covered with sticky rice. What’s more, making the meat balls are quite fun!
It is also a very kid-friendly dish. These cute white meal balls (hence the name – pearl meat balls) will easily attract your kids’ attention. Their soft and tender texture are also easy for them to eat.
I hope you enjoy this Steamed Sticky Rice Meat Balls. If you like this recipe, please leave a rating and share it with your friends!
