Pearl pork meatballs

Soak the rice overnight or from the morning. Set up the steamer basket.

Combine the pork with sliced scallions, ginger, the egg, salt, a pinch of sugar and about 1 tbsp dark soy sauce.

With wet hands take a spoonful and use the palm to form a soft ball, too soft to roll between the palms; keep one hand dry.

Coat each meatball all over in the soaked rice and set directly in the steamer basket.

Steam once up to a simmer, "10 to 12. Or 12 to 15" minutes; done at about 13 minutes when the rice is plump and translucent.
