Ingredients
Instructions
Make the paste
Pound the chicken tenderloin and pork fat into a fine paste. Loosen it with the egg white, then add a pinch of fine salt, the Sichuan pepper water, MSG, velvet antler powder, and a small amount of the stock. Mix until the mixture reaches a porridge-like consistency.
Cut the ingredients
Cut the ham, bok choy, and winter bamboo shoots into small diamond-shaped slices.
Blanch the meatballs
Pour water into a wok. When it reaches about eighty percent of a boil, squeeze the paste into cherry-sized balls and drop them into the wok. Blanch until cooked through, then remove and drain.
Finish the soup
Pour the stock into a wok. Add the fine salt, Shaoxing wine, Sichuan pepper water, winter bamboo shoots, bok choy, and ham, then add the white fungus and the cherry-sized meatballs. Once it comes to a boil, skim off the foam and transfer to a serving bowl.
