In a bowl, mix the ground pork or chicken with garlic, ground white pepper, corn starch, soy sauce, oyster sauce, sugar, and baking powder.

Form the mixture into small meatballs.

In a separate pot, cook the meatballs in boiling water until fully cooked.

Serve the congee topped with soft-boiled eggs, green onion, ginger, coriander, and drizzle with sesame oil if desired.
