Step 1
Add glutinous rice to a bowl. Pour in water and leave to soak for at least 2 hours.
Step 2
Put minced pork into a mixing bowl along with salt, white pepper, cornstarch, light soy sauce, sesame oil, egg white, ginger and scallions (leave some for garnishing later).
Step 3
Stir in one direction until it becomes sticky. Add minced water chestnut and mix well.
Step 4
Place some meat mixture onto the palm of your hand (wear a kitchen glove if you wish).
Step 5
Gently close your hand into a fist while squeezing some mixture out through the opening between your thumb and index finger to form a ball.
Step 6
Scoop it off with a spoon. Repeat to shape more (I made 15 balls with each measuring about 4 cm/1½ inches).
Step 7
Drain the glutinous rice. Gently roll each meatball in the rice to get an even coating.
Step 8
Place slices of carrot onto a flat plate. Put meatballs over the carrot (see note 3 for alternative methods). Leave a little gap in between the balls.
Step 9
Bring water to a full boil. Put the plate over a steamer rack or into a steamer basket. Leave to steam for 15 mins.
Step 10
Garnish with scallions and serve immediately.
