Don't deep-fry radish balls anymore! Try steaming them instead. Less oil and more natural sweetness! Steamed radish balls are glistening, soft, and fragrant—one bite and you'll feel the warmth of winter. ✨ Serving them on the table during the New Year symbolizes "reunion" and "prosperity," making them especially auspicious. 😍
Materials
Make radish balls like this! They're fresh, fragrant, soft, and not greasy—perfect for winter! Here are the steps:
Peel the white radish and grate it into thin shreds.
Add a little salt, mix well, let stand for 10 minutes, then drain.
Squeeze out excess water by hand (leaving only a little moisture).
Heat oil in a pan, add minced meat and stir-fry until it changes color.
Add minced ginger and minced scallion whites and stir-fry until fragrant.
Add Chinese sausage, diced shiitake mushrooms, and dried shrimp, and stir-fry until fragrant.
Add light soy sauce
Season with salt, sugar, and white pepper.
Turn off the heat and add chopped green onions.
Stir well and set aside.
Pour the stir-fried minced meat into the prepared shredded white radish and mix well.
Add sweet potato flour in batches
Mix until it can be formed into a ball.
Divide the dough into evenly sized balls, about 45g each, pinch them together, roll them into round shapes, and place them in a steaming dish.
Once the water boils, place the steamer in a pot and steam over high heat for 12-15 minutes.
While steaming the meatballs, blanch the bok choy arranged on the plate in salted water.
Next, prepare a seasoning sauce: 1 tablespoon light soy sauce, 1 tablespoon oyster sauce, 1 teaspoon sugar, 1 teaspoon cornstarch, a small bowl of water, and 1 teaspoon sesame oil. Simmer over low heat until thickened.
Arrange the steamed radish balls on a plate, drizzle with sauce, and they're ready to be served! ☑️
With just a simple steaming, you can enjoy radish balls that the whole family will love! They're fresh, fragrant, soft, and not greasy at all—perfect for winter!
The sweetness of the radish blends perfectly with the aroma of the meat—you'll fall in love at first bite! ✨ It's soft, smooth, not oily or greasy, and incredibly fragrant! You should try it too! 😋
