Instructions
1
Form and slow-simmer(2h 15m)
Mix pork with wine, ginger, and salt until sticky — knead for 5 min. Form into 4 giant meatballs (fist-sized). Layer cabbage leaves on the bottom of a pot. Gently place meatballs on top. Cover with stock. Simmer on the LOWEST possible heat for 2 hours — the surface should barely tremble.
Pro Tips for Western Kitchens
The 2-hour gentle simmer is what makes them 'melt in your mouth.' Boiling = tough meatballs. Barely simmering = cloud-like texture.
