Procedure:
In a big bowl, mix ground pork, egg
white, 1 teaspoon salt, 1 teaspoon MSG, sherry, crabmeat, cornstarch, the scallions and
ginger. Stir the ingredients well into a rather stiff mixture. Divide this
into eight portions. Roll each portion with your palms into a meatball. Place
the meatballs in a container and steam in a steamer for 20 minutes or until cooked.
Remove container, let stand.
Wash, trim and slice the napa cabbage into 2" by
1" strips.
Heat a wok over high fire, add vegetable oil. When the oil
is hot, add cabbage strips and stir fry for 30 seconds. Remove them from the wok and
put them on the bottom of an earthenward pot, a heat-proof casserole or a wok. Place
the meatballs on the top of the cabbage and add chicken broth, 1 teaspoon salt and 1
teaspoon MSG. Cover the pot tightly, bring the stock to a boil and then turn the
fire to low and simmer for 20 minutes. Serves 4-6. |
