Method

Combine the pork, carrots, onions, egg and flour in a mixing bowl. Season with salt and pepper and mix thoroughly. Scoop out about 1 tablespoon of the meat mixture and shape into a ball. Set aside. Repeat with remaining meat mixture.
Bring the water to a boil in a deep pot. Add the pork balls and simmer over medium heat until fully cooked, about 15 minutes.
