Instant Pot Steamed Pearl Meatballs
Have I mentioned that my Instant Pot Duo is my new favorite equipment? Looking at my old posts, you can tell how much I love it. I have made my Pork Chashu in my Instant pot and some of my recipes here. I love that it’s fast, and it has so many features that I can use with less washing time. Since I love it so much, I thought of making my favorite Asian meatballs in my instant pot too, and here’s the recipe and process.
I first tasted this Pearl Meatballs when I was in college. My dorm caterer served it for our lunch and I thought then that this will be a perfect appetizer similar to Pork and Shrimp Dumplings.
Ingredients:
- 1 lb Ground Pork with Fat
- 1 tablespoon Ginger chopped
- 1 tablespoon Green Onions chopped
- 1 teaspoon Sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon white ground pepper
- 1 teaspoon salt
Coating:
- 1/2 cup sticky rice
- 3 cups water
Instructions
- Place sticky and water in a medium-sized bowl and soak for four hours. When ready, drain the water using a strainer. Set aside.
- Place all of the filling ingredients in a large bowl and mix until all of the ingredients are incorporated. Take one tablespoon of the mixture and fry to make sure that mixture is according to your liking.
- Form the mixture into small balls- ping pong size- and roll into the sticky rice. Press the sticky rice gently into the meat .
- Spray the dehydrating try with non-stick oil and arrange pearl meat balls.
- Add in five cups of water and cover with the Pressure cooker lid. Press the steam button and set time for five minutes.
- Make sure that you remove the pearl meat balls immediately to keep the moisture. Serve with soy sauce.
