This unusual dish from Hunan is both flavorful and beautiful and is customarily eaten as the first course at a banquet or sometimes as a course for a family meal. The balls are made from ground pork studded with other ingredients, predominantly the salt-cured Yunnan ham from Hunan‛s neighboring province. The “pearls” are grains of glutinous rice that become glossy and almost translucent when steamed.
