5.Soaked glutinous rice Dry the water and set aside

7.Mix well and take an appropriate amount to make Meatballs (any size)
8. Put the prepared meatballs into the previously soaked glutinous rice.Roll it up and cover it all with glutinous rice
9.Make the meatballs in sequence (10 in total) , and there are 3 more that I can’t put down (I didn’t take pictures)
10.Put it into a steamer and steam over high heat 28 minutes (I made it very large, so the steaming time is longer.If it is smaller, it will take 20 minutes)

Tips
1.Choose pork with a little fat.Dried mushrooms and carrots require oil.It is recommended to chop the meat by hand at home.Although it is a bit tiring, it is hygienic.The meat is chewy and tastes good.It is worth the effort
2.It is recommended not to put chopped green onion in the minced meat (because the color of the chopped green onion will not look good during the steaming process).Instead, cut the front section of green onion into white and put it in.The chopped green onion will be used in the final embellishment to embellish this step.It’s up to you, you don’t need to
3.You can put some minced ginger in the meat filling.All the dishes I cook are based on my son’s taste.He doesn’t like ginger in it, so I don’t put ginger
4.The meatballs I made were relatively large, so I steamed them over high heat for 28 minutes.If I made them smaller, I steamed them for 20 minutes.
5.My glutinous rice was soaked too much today.After a long time, the surface of the steamed meatballs did not look good.Because I went out to do errands, I soaked them in the morning and made them in the afternoon.After soaking for more than 7 hours, the steamed glutinous rice grains were too rotten and ugly.Remember, you only need to soak them for about 2 hours.Just fine
