1

Wash 200 grams of glutinous rice gently with clean water and set aside to soak for 4 hours.

2

Choose tender lotus roots, cut off the ends, peel the skin, and cut into thin slices, strips, and then cubes.

3

Prepare ginger by cutting it into thin slices, then strips, and place in a small bowl.

4

Cut spring onion into slices and place in a small bowl.

5

Soak Sichuan peppercorns and star anise in boiling water for 10 minutes to release their aroma.

6

Blanch shiitake mushrooms in boiling water for 2 minutes, then cool in cold water, squeeze out excess water, and chop into small pieces.

7

Chop the pork into thin slices, then strips, and finally mince it, or use a meat grinder for a coarser texture.

8

Filter the soaked onion and ginger water and set aside.

9

Season the minced pork with 1 tablespoon light soy sauce, 1 tablespoon oyster sauce, 1 tablespoon salt, and black pepper, then add 30 grams of onion and ginger water and mix until sticky.

10

Add diced lotus root, diced shiitake mushrooms, and chopped spring onion to the meat mixture and mix well.

11

Add 2 tablespoons of corn starch to the mixture and mix until fully combined.

12

Drain the soaked glutinous rice and set aside.

13

Prepare half a carrot by cutting it into thin slices and arrange them evenly on a plate.

14

Take a small handful of meat filling (about 25 grams), roll it into a ball, and coat it with glutinous rice, then place it on the carrot-covered plate.

15

Repeat the process until all meat filling is used, leaving space between each ball.

16

Steam the meatballs in a steamer over high heat for 20 minutes, then check for doneness by ensuring the glutinous rice is soft and not hard.

17

Garnish with chopped green onion before serving.
