3 ts
Dried shrimp, soaked/minced
1
Stalk green onion, minced

Directions
Soak rice in warm water for 1-1/2 to 2 hours. Drain well and set
aside. Mix pork with the remaining ingredients in a bowl. Form into
14 meat balls: take a fistful of the mixture and squeeze out a
meatball between your thumb and index finger. Use a wet soup spoon
to remove meatballs from your fist. Roll the meatballs in the soaked
rice until evenly coated. Gently press rice into meatballs. Steam
over high heat for 25-30 minutes. Add more water to the steamer if
necessary. Serve with soya sauce, if desired.
Pearls can be kept in the refrigerator and resteamed.
