Soak sweet rice in water overnight. Drain and set aside.
To Prepare Meatball
Except for the sweet rice, mix all other ingredients together in a large bowl. Grab handfuls of the mixture, pat them in your palms to make the mixture stickier. Roll the mixture into a meatball, about 1 inch (2.5 cm) diameter each. Roll the meatballs in sweet rice, make sure all sides are covered. Now the meatballs should resemble beautiful pearls!
To Steam
Start boiling water to prepare the steamer. Place a cheesecloth on the bottom of the steamer basket. Place the pearl balls into your steamer.
Steam on high heat for 20 minutes. Enjoy!
To Store
You can keep the leftovers in an airtight container and store in the refrigerator for 2 days.
