Hakka Radish Ball

When I was a little I remember my grandma always make this yummy dish for the family. Besides my grandma, my dad has another version of his Radish Ball too and both tasted very delicious. And now, I'm having my own version too and hope to make it better and tastier.

Every time when I happened to visit my father he will definitely cook some of my favourites. I'm one lucky girl? Yes I do. haha


Ingredients

1 Medium Size Radish
1/4 cup of Dried Shrimps (washed and chopped)
1 cup Minced Pork
3 tbsp Corn Flour
1 Shallot (chopped)
1 tbsp Dark Soya (optional if you do not like it dark)
2 tsp Salt
3 tbsp Water

Methods

1. Peel the skin of the radish, shred radish using manual food shredder. I do not like it too coarse but not too fine neither.
2. Squeeze away the excessive water of the radish to avoid bitter taste.
3. Mix all ingredients together.
4. Use a small size metal ice cream scoop to scoop the meat and form a ball. Remember do not press the meat to hard while forming meat ball to avoid meat getting harden while steaming.
5. Laid a layer of clean banana leave at the bottom of a metal plate. Place radish balls on top of the banana leave and steam for 20-30 minutes in high fire.
6. Serve hot and eat with chili padi with soya sauce for a better taste.
