1/8 t         white pepper
1/2 t         sesame oil

T = tbsp, t = tsp, C = cup

 

1. Combine all the ingredients in a large bowl and use a fork to mix until everything is well mixed.2. Take about 1 1/2 tbsp of the mixture. Toss it back and forth between your hands to tenderize the meat, then shape it into a ball.

3. Transfer the balls onto a plate. Cover with a piece of plastic wrap and refrigerate until use. You can enjoy them in my Chicken-Taro Meatballs and TofuHot Pot, or you can make these for a traditional hot pot and let everyone cook their own at the table. *It can be made a day before and kept in the fridge, or in the freezer for one month.
