Korak po korak

1
In a large bowl, combine the ground pork, minced ginger, chopped scallions, beaten egg, cornstarch, soy sauce, Shaoxing wine, sesame oil, and white pepper.
Oko 5 min
Napomena kuhara: Mix thoroughly until well combined and slightly sticky, but avoid overmixing.
2
Divide the mixture into four equal portions and gently form them into large, round meatballs, about 2.5-3 inches in diameter.
Oko 5 min
Napomena kuhara: Wet your hands slightly to prevent sticking and help shape the meatballs smoothly.
3
Heat the vegetable oil in a large deep pot or Dutch oven over medium-high heat.
Oko 2 min
4
Carefully brown the meatballs on all sides until a light crust forms, working in batches if necessary. Do not cook them through.
Oko 10 min
Napomena kuhara: Browning adds flavor and helps the meatballs hold their shape during braising.
5
Remove the browned meatballs from the pot and set aside.
Oko 1 min

Oko 7 min
7

Oko 1 min
9
Cover the pot, reduce the heat to low, and simmer for 45-50 minutes, or until the meatballs are cooked through and tender.
Oko 50 min
Napomena kuhara: The long, slow braise ensures the meatballs are incredibly moist and absorb all the flavors.

If desired, remove the meatballs and cabbage to a serving platter. Bring the remaining braising liquid to a boil and stir in the cornstarch slurry to thicken the sauce to your preferred consistency.
Oko 3 min
Napomena kuhara: Add the slurry gradually, stirring constantly, until the sauce reaches your desired thickness.
