Pearl Shrimp Meatballs
1.
The glutinous rice swells at least 3 hours in advance and then drains the water. I soaked it the night before. Live shrimp --- remove the shrimp head and tail, open the back of the shrimp and remove the shrimp string. Add a small amount of cooking wine and a small amount of salt to marinate. Chop the prawns into prawn paste, pork---choose 3 to 7 fat and lean meat, chop into minced meat, as thin as possible, finely chop carrots, ginger, garlic and scallions. If you like mushroom dishes, you can also mince and add some in it.
2.
Put the cut ingredients and pork together, add a small amount of salt, a small amount of chicken essence, a small amount of cooking wine, a small amount of soy sauce, a small amount of cornstarch, a small amount of pepper, a moderate amount of salad oil, and an egg
3.
Mix clockwise and sizing. Note that if it is too dry when mixing, you can add a small amount of purified water. It should not be too thin. If it is too thin, the balls will be easily deformed.
4.
Finally, add the marinated shrimp paste and mix it clockwise
5.
Prepare the utensils and place a lotus leaf under the steamer, so that the steamed balls have the fragrance of lotus leaves. If there is no lotus leaf painting, you can put a slice of carrot under each ball, which is also very beautiful. You can choose other utensils without a steamer
6.
Take some meat to make balls and place them in a bowl of soaked glutinous rice. Let the balls fully cover the glutinous rice. Repeat the wrapping several times to get more rice.
7.
The prepared balls are placed in a steamer, and steamed in a pot on cold water for 30 minutes is OK, but I steamed it for almost an hour because my balls are bigger, hehe. So the question of time depends on the size of your balls! Goji berries can be steamed and then garnished, because I think steamed goji berries are sweeter, so I garnish it first
Tips:
1. At the end, you can add a little green onion to embellish it;
2. When making this dish, do not add too much salt, because if the shrimp is added, it will reflect the umami taste of the shrimp if it is too heavy;
3. When chopping shrimps should not be too fine, so that when you eat the dishes, you can taste the feeling of shrimps;
4. When steaming, be sure to replenish water at any time to avoid drying out.
