Ingredients
medium potatoes
2 (about 300 g)
ground pork
150 g
medium carrot
1
lettuce leaves
2 leaves, finely chopped
soy sauce
1 tsp
cornstarch
1 tsp
salt
½ tsp
white pepper
½ tsp
vegetable oil
1 tbsp (for cooking)
Instructions
1
Prep the potatoes
Peel the potatoes and cut them into rough cubes. This helps them steam evenly.
2
Steam and mash
Place the cubes in a steamer and cook over high heat for about 6 minutes until a fork slides through easily. Transfer to a bowl and mash until smooth.
3
Shape the carrot blossoms
Slice the carrot into thin rounds. Use a small flower-shaped cookie cutter or a sharp knife to create decorative blossom shapes.
4
Combine the filling
In a large bowl, mix the mashed potatoes, ground pork, chopped lettuce, carrot blossoms, soy sauce, cornstarch, salt, and white pepper. Stir in one direction until everything is evenly incorporated.
5
Form and cook the meatballs
Roll the mixture into golf‑ball‑size rounds. Heat oil in a non‑stick skillet over medium heat. Add the meatballs and cook, turning occasionally, for 8–10 minutes until they are golden brown and cooked through.
6
Serve
Plate the meatballs warm, garnished with extra carrot blossoms and a sprinkle of fresh lettuce. Enjoy as a main course or with a side of steamed rice.
