Shiitake Mushroom and Winter Bamboo Shoot Meatballs
Minced shiitake mushrooms and winter bamboo shoots are folded into seasoned pork with eggs, then gently poached into springy, tender meatballs in barely simmering water. Light, wholesome, and naturally sweet, with the poaching liquid saved as a bonus broth.

After the water in the pot comes to a boil, turn to the lowest heat. Put on a glove on your left hand, dip a little cooking oil, grab a handful of minced meat, and squeeze a meatball out from the tiger's mouth. Hold a spoon in your right hand and scrape; a meatball is ready.

Use a spoon to put the meatballs into the hot water in the pot, remembering to use the lowest heat. The water should be in a state of nearly boiling, not fully boiling, to blanch the meatballs.

Drop the meatballs in one by one. Raw meatballs sink in the water at first, but gradually, the blanched meatballs will float. The water used to blanch the meatballs can be strained and used to make broth.

Just scoop out the dumplings that float to the surface.

Made a big bowl.
