Put the ground beef in the freezer for 20 minutes to get it very cold.

In a food processor, combine the ground beef with ice cold water and mix well.

Add cornstarch, baking powder, soy sauce, fish sauce, salt, white pepper, and sugar to the mixture and blend until well combined.

Transfer the blended mixture to a container and cover with plastic wrap, then place in the freezer for at least 20 minutes.

After 20 minutes, remove the mixture from the freezer.

Prepare a pot of boiling water, ensuring it is not at a full boil to keep the meatballs tender.

Wet your hands and a spoon to prevent sticking, then scoop out the meat mixture and form it into balls using your hands and spoon.

Place the formed meatballs into the simmering water and cook for about 8 minutes until they float to the top, indicating they are cooked through.

Remove the meatballs from the water and place them in ice cold water to stop the cooking process and keep them firm.
