Instructions
- Soak rice in water to cover for 30 minutes.
- Soak mushrooms in warm water to cover until softened, about 30 minutes; drain. Discard stems and mince caps.
- Place mushrooms in a bowl with remaining ingredients; mix well. With wet hands, roll meat mixture into 24 balls, using 2 tablespoons for each. Drain rice and spread on a plate. Roll each ball in rice to coat completely. Arrange meatballs, without crowding, on two heatproof dishes.
- Prepare a wok for steaming. Steam meatballs, one dish at a time, over high heat until pork is cooked through, about 25 minutes.
