Steps

1

Because most food processors have limited capacity, divide the ingredients in half and process in two batches. Cut the pork leg meat and pork fat into chunks and place them in the food processor to grind.
2

Add the seasonings: minced ginger, minced garlic, ground white pepper, egg whites, and sesame oil. You can also add other ingredients you like, such as diced shiitake mushrooms, shepherd’s purse, or celery for extra texture.
3

Shape the mixture into meatballs and place them in hot water to set their shape. Once cooled, portion and freeze them. When you want to make braised Lion’s Head meatballs, just take them out and cook as needed.
