do the napa at the end to make more crunchy we used the broth like a soup super warm and tasty on a cold day.
A great recipe

for sharing this recipe! I make this over and over again. So easy to make. I use ground turkey instead of pork (not much of a pork fan) and use regular cabbage most of the time. My kids love it too. Works well served with rice.
Delicious - Unique Dish

I served this dish over steamed white rice - it was a great hit and it will be a regular item on my weekly menus.
Yummy!!!

This is a great recipe. I have 2 picky eaters, aged 2 and 4 and they both love it. As a working mom, this recipe is super easy to follow. Tastes great and is a balanced meal all in one. Thank you Ming Na!

The dish is great but you are pushing Rachel too much. I enjoyed her much more when there was less of her! Over done!
Recipe drops the Egg

Ming-na put more ingredients into her meat balls. She mixed an Egg to the meat, pretty much a vital ingredient to hold the meat balls together. She also used Mushroom Soy in addition to the Light Soy. The mushroom soy is what gives these big meatballs their nice dark color. The Soy isn't a big deal but the egg sure is!
Interesting

I used ground turkey. I think I would add garlic to the meatballs next time. I felt like something was missing. I didn't have cabbage so I used romaine lettuce. It actually was great.
Very good Chinese!

I really enjoyed this recipe, though I'll agree with the other reviewer who said she couldn't imagine using 2 cans chicken broth. I added more than 1 can but less than 2, and it was too much liquid for my taste. Also, instead of using just pork, I mixed pork with ground turkey so that the meat was a little "leaner". Finally, I used more soy sauce than suggested for the meat flavoring, and added scallions at the end. Next time I may add a little chili sauce upon serving for some heat. It is, indeed, a simple but elegant dish (and so fast!) - will definitely make it again!
quick but just not very flavorful

I'll stick to my hot and sour soup but this one is quick and for a starter is okay
This was delicious

I followed the recipe exactly. With the chopsticks also and wok LOL. I loved it. I'm eating it as we speak. It is so simple. I think it's a great dish for entertaining. One thing I learned from Rachael Ray on 30 min meals. You can take one night and go away to another place. Why not do it for yourself and others. Rachael and Ming thank you ladies. God Bless.

Thought this was a great recipe the only adjustment I made was I used low sodium chicken broth and only 1 can. I can't imagine using 2 cans of chicken broth for this recipe. I would have had soup. I added cornstarch to thicken the broth prior to serving.
Wonderful Dish

This was a wonderful tasting dish. It was so easy but tasted like you spent a long time in the kitchen preparing it. Thanks Ming-Na for sharing

i added some chopped water chestnuts, green onions, cornstarch, soy sauce and oyster sauce to the meatballs and i simmered the whole thing for 45 minutes (just because i wasn't in a rush). 5 minutes before i took them off the stove i added a little cornstarch to the broth to make a slight gravy. this was a delicious and easy dish to make and my family loved it. i will not hesitate to make it again... even on a workday!
great low carb meal

I tried this before entertaining guests and it is excellent. It is truly gracious and traditional Chinese. I rarely follow a recipe to the T and I didn't here as this was submitted by a viewer. I added 1 teas finely grated fresh ginger and one very finely diced scallion to the pork mixture. I followed the recipe thereafter, but cooked the savoy and meatballs for exactly 8 minutes as they demonstrated on the original show. This is an excellent recipe that can stand alone and be low carb or be enhanced with other dishes for a very nice Chinese meal. It can also be made more wonton soup like with the addition of more broth. It is very versatile and is truly outstanding. It will definitely be repeated...weekly perhaps.
Who changed the recipe?

I have not tried this recipe yet,but noticed that there were two changes made. Both the mushroom soy and the egg were left out of the recipe. I'd like to know who changes the recipes before they go on the website or are these typos? A lot of other hosts get slammed when an ingredient is missing. Maybe it's the website's fault. Also, the fish recipe from this episode is wrong. The fish was not steamed with the onions. Only with the ginger. The onions were added before the oil was poured over.

I used this recipe along with another Lion's Head recipe. I added the egg, 2 slices of chopped ginger, and 2 scallion stems to the meat mixture and followed the directions for this recipe. It was awsome.
Excellent and Easy!

We really liked this dish; it just took longer than expected. The ground pork is delicious, and wouldn't recommend switching it out-- it's worth it.

Boy, was this disappointing! First of all, I found the cooking time considerably longer than 15 minutes, which would have been fine if it was good, but it was NOT. There was no depth of flavor. I added chopped water chestnuts to the meatballs (I highly recommend this) and substituted a small box of chicken stock for one of the cans of chicken broth to intensify the flavor of liquid. But it still didn't taste very good, and more importantly, it did not taste RIGHT. I am considered an excellent cook, but I was at a complete loss at how to fix this recipe.
No Flavor

I'm sorry but I found this recipe extremely boring. No flavor. I cook all the time and I am known as an excellent cook but this recipe just didn't do it for me. I had to doctor it up (additional soy sauce, sesame sauce and garlic chili sauce to name just a few...) and only then was it decent but not great. I did thicken the broth with a cornstarch slurry or it would have been more like a meatball soup. In the taped episode, she did suggest you thicken it as well yet it was not mentioned in the website recipe.
