03 — Method
- Soak the bread in the milk for 5 minutes, squeeze it out and crumble.
- Pick the mint leaves (the stems are bitter) and chop very finely.
- In a large bowl, mix the chicken, bread, egg, scallion and mint.
- Add the grated ginger, fish sauce, ground coriander and pepper and mix vigorously for 2 minutes.
- Mixing well binds the meatballs so they hold together.
- With damp hands, shape into 16 walnut-sized balls.
- Bring water to a boil in the steamer and put the meatballs on perforated parchment in the basket.
- Steam for 12 to 14 minutes until firm and cooked through. Serve with nuoc cham.
