  • Shrimp-flavored pearl meatballs Make Tips

    1. When stirring the meat filling, place it in one direction and stir vigorously so that the meat filling will be chewy. 2. The shrimp can also be beaten into a paste and mixed with the meat filling, depending on your preference. 3. Brush oil on the steaming plate to prevent the meatballs from sticking to the plate after they are right.
