- Heat the oil. Form the meatballs and fry the meatballs in the oil. The meatballs will be just sticky but firm enough to form. Get the water boiling in the steamer so it will be ready to steam. Get a good crust on the outside of the meatballs. No need to get the meatballs done, that will happen when you steam it.
- Wash the bok-choy very carefully separate the stalks/ribs.
- If you are using baby bok-choy just trim the ends. If using bigger bok-choy cut the big parts of the stalks into small portions. Coat the bok-choy with sesame seed oil, soya sauce, and salt. Let sit and marinate for 10 minutes. Steam the bok-choy with the fried meatballs for 30-40 minutes.
- In the pot with the flour mixture add and reduce the chicken broth to half. When the bok-choy and meatballs are done dip into bowls or plates, and add some of the broth.
- Slice the scallions and mash gently with a fork to separate the rings. Add to a bowl with soya sauce, honey, sesame oil, and vinegar serve over the top as an option, or just serve with meatballs over the top of rice, and bok-choy with the sauce. I hope you enjoy!!!
