List of Ingredients
1 lb Beef
1 Egg
1/4 cup Dry bread crumbs
1/4 cup Water
1 tbl Cornstarch
1/2 tsp Salt
1 tsp Sherry
2 tbl Oil
1/2 cup Water
2 tbl Soy sauce
1 lb Spinach
1/2 tsp Salt Recipe
* 1. Remove fat and tendons from beef; then mince or grind.
* 2. Beat egg lightly and add to beef, along with dry bread crumbs, cold water, cornstarch, salt and sherry. Blend well, but do not overhandle meat. Form into walnut-size balls.
* 3. Heat oil to smoking in a heavy pan. Brown beef balls quickly but lightly and remove. Drain fat into another pan.
* 4. Heat remaining water in original pan and stir in soy sauce. Return beef balls. Bring quickly to a boil; then simmer, covered, 30 minutes, turning several times.
* 5. Wash spinach and remove tough stems. Reheat beef fat in second pan. (If it's less than 2 tablespoons, add peanut oil to make up difference.)
* 6. Add remaining salt, then spinach. Stir-fry spinach until slightly softened (about 1 to 2 minutes). Top with beef balls and cook, covered, 2 minutes more over low heat. Serve hot.
VARIATION: For the spinach, substitute Chinese lettuce, cut in 2-inch sections; stir-fry until tender.
