Four Joy Meatballs with Egg

These savory Steamed Meat-Wrapped Eggs are a delightful fusion of tender pork, earthy mushrooms, and sweet carrots, all wrapped around soft-boiled eggs for a rich, satisfying bite. Perfectly seasoned with scallions, ginger, and a hint of oil, the meat mixture is hand-molded around each egg and pan-fried to seal in flavor before steaming to juicy perfection. The natural broth from steaming is transformed into a luscious glaze, thickened slightly for a glossy finish. Served atop crisp cabbage leaves, this dish offers a comforting balance of textures and tastes—creamy egg, succulent pork, and fresh vegetables in every bite. Ideal for a hearty meal, this recipe allows for customization with bamboo shoots or other favorites, making it a versatile and delicious choice for any occasion. Try it today and enjoy the hidden surprise of eggs nestled inside flavorful meatballs!
