Homemade Chicken Meatballs

Homemade Chicken Meatballs

Chicken breast blended with egg white, lard and ginger until glossy yields remarkably bouncy meatballs, poached gently until they float, then served in a light salted sesame-oil broth, tender homemade spheres far better than store-bought.

    Prepare half a bowl of water. When shaping the meatballs, first use your left hand to take the ground meat, then hold a spoon and dip it in water before taking the chicken meatball squeezed out from the web of your left hand.
