Meatballs in Chinese Recipe

Ingredients: To cook forcemeat: 500g pork forcemeat, 250g prawns, 6 chestnuts canned, 2 bulb onions, 1 teaspoon fresh ginger cracked, 1 teaspoon sesame oil, 2 tablespoons soy sauce, 1 tablespoon rice vodka (or dry sherry), 1.5 tablespoon starch, 5–6 tablespoons vegetable oil. To prepare side dish: 8 dried mushrooms, 1 small-sized white cabbage head. To prepare sauce: 1/2 teaspoon sugar, 1/2 glass broth, 2 tablespoons soy sauce.

Directions: Mix forcemeat, prawns finely chopped, chestnuts canned, onion chopped, ginger shredded and other ingredients. Knead them thoroughly. Make 6 meatballs from the forcemeat. Soak mushrooms in warm water, cut the cabbage into strips. Put a half of a cabbage on the bottom of the saucepan. Roll the meatballs in starch diluted with water or broth, and then fry in the oil until golden brown. Shortly after that, put the meatballs with mushrooms into the saucepan and put over the rest of the cabbage. Pour everything with sauce (prepared beforehand) and put on a flame. Bring to the boil and stew for 1 hour over medium fire. Put the meatballs over the vegetables before serving.
