Momma's Meatballs

This is an easy and versatile dish that basically gives you the inside of a dumpling and fantastic sauce. I remember the house filling with an amazing aroma and having it with rice for dinner and with somen noodles the next day.

Momma's Meatballs
1. Mix 1 pound of ground pork with finely diced ginger (half a thumb), diced water chestnuts, chopped 2-3 stalks of scallions, 1/4 cup of soy sauce (we use reduced sodium), 1/4 cup of rice wine, tbsp of corn starch and a splash of sesame oil.
2. In a 3 qt saucepan with lid, make a layer of little meatballs (about 1 inch in diameter) and add 3/4 cup water, 3/4 cup soy sauce, 3/4 rice wine. Bring to boil.
3. Cover and lower heat to higher than a simmer and cook for 20-30 minutes.
